find_package(cli) doesn't define cli_VERSION #192

Closed yurivict closed 9 months ago

Most cmake-based packages do define {name}_VERSION.

Right. Could you provide a PR for that?

@yurivict cli library already define cli_VERSION variable and you can read it when find_package is used (i.e., with conan package manager). On the other hand, cmake does not allow a project to read variables defined in libraries added using add_subdirectory, so in that case unfortunately you cannot have that information.
