# This command sets PROJECT_IS_SUBPROJECT and PROJECT_IS_SUBMODULE. A project
# is a (loosely coupled) "subproject" when it uses the SUBPROJECT option of
# basis_project to define the name of the subproject. It then also must specify
# the name of the PACKAGE this subproject belongs to. When a project uses the
# NAME option instead to declare its name, it can be either an independent
# project or a (tighly coupled) "submodule" of another project. A project is
# regarded a "submodule" when it is not a subproject but specifies a PACKAGE
# it belongs to. Otherwise, when only a project has only a NAME, but no PACKAGE
# the PACKAGE name is set equal the project NAME and the project is regarded
# as neither a subproject nor a submodule. When either a subproject or submodule
# is built as part of a top-level project (usually the PACKAGE it belongs to),
# the CMake variable PROJECT_IS_MODULE is furthermore set to TRUE by the
# basis_add_module command. The PROJECT_IS_SUBPROJECT and PROJECT_IS_SUBMODULE
# flags are used by the BASIS commands to decide to which "namespace" the
# targets of a project belong to and what components to install.

#   bug fixes and no major changes. Hence, changes of the @api but not the @abi.
# - A change of the patch number indicates changes only related to bug fixes
#   which did not change the softwares @api. It is the least important component
