Research direction

Review the project structure described in the issue, especially CMakeLists.txt and the vendor/variant directory, to determine how the libraries should be included from modules. Document the CMake integration steps and verify that a project with this structure can use variant successfully.

Description

Good job! But I still have a question to use it in CMAKE project.

Suppose I have project in the following structures

- root
      - CMakeLists.txt
      - cmake
      - modules
      ...
      - vendor
            - variant

How should I include the variant libraries for codes implemented in modules?
