Request for README clarification

Hello, we are embarking on a project that may use ZeroC Ice, and I am interested in using the Qt / CMake system for building against it. Not necessarily for building Ice itself, although if it can do that too, great. More for integration with the application itself. Also bear in mind I am a Qt Creator / CMake newbie should you decide to flesh out the README a little bit: like, for me, obvious places to start is: How To: Include UseZeroC.cmake, type thing, and the system just knows how to connect the dots? Thank you!

Hey, I'm really not maintaining this repo anymore, you're welcome to use whatever useful things you find, but I won't be working on it anymore.

Thank you, sir, I appreciate that. I do have one question, I seem to be having some trouble linking with the Ice and IceUtil. I've CMake-debug-message verified that the paths are all what they should be, so unless it's a naming convention thing I am unaware of, or perhaps I am reading that link_libraries is now deprecated, that linking should be more targeted than that, which throws a wrench in the whole UseSuchAndSuch CMake paradigm. Anything CMake-wise that you know of there? Thanks...

One thought, I wonder if the obvious answer is the case: the project was built in Windows? With some support it seems across platforms to Linux? Mac? The convention in Windows lib files is literally that: Ice IceUtil is literally Ice.lib and IceUtil.lib. However in Linux, we deal with libIce.so libIceUtil.so. So it seems when we identify the OS, might be a good time to cache a library prefix, or however that happens to the CMake build system.

Generally this should work cross platform, although it's really only been tested on linux for the most part.
