[BUG] Could NOT find pagmo_IPOPT (missing: PAGMO_IPOPT_INCLUDE_DIR)

[intractabilis]

Describe the bug pagmo needs manual specification of PAGMO_IPOPT_INCLUDE_DIR, otherwise Findpagmo_IPOPT.cmake fails with an error.

To Reproduce Build pagmo with PAGMO_WITH_IPOPT=ON, create a project with the following meson.build

project('test', ['cpp'], version : '0.1')
pagmo_dep = dependency('pagmo', method: 'cmake')
executable(test, 'test.cpp', dependencies: [pagmo_dep])

Run meson setup build. Meson will fail to find pagmo with the following message in the log file:

ERR:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

Please, use pkgconf to find PAGMO_IPOPT_INCLUDE_DIR. Suggested change for Findpagmo_IPOPT.cmake:

     # The associated variable is PAGMO_IPOPT_INCLUDE_DIR.

I am not sure pkgconfig is the way to go, since as far as I recall it's not really well-supported/widespread in Windows environments.

In out CI, IPOPT is located without much effort even when installed in non-standard paths (e.g., from a conda environment). Could you give a bit more context/explanation about the error? E.g., were the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH CMake variables set up properly?
