+# TYPE: What type of dependency has the using project on that package. Default is OPTIONAL.
+# In this case it is a package which can be used by the project when available at buildtime,
+# but it also work without. RECOMMENDED is similar to OPTIONAL, i.e. the project will build
+# if the package is not present, but the functionality of the resulting binaries will be severly
+# limited. If a REQUIRED package is not available at buildtime, the project may not even build. This
+# can be combined with the FATAL_ON_MISSING_REQUIRED_PACKAGES argument for feature_summary().
+# Last, a RUNTIME package is a package which is actually not used at all during the build, but
+# which is required for actually running the resulting binaries. So if such a package is missing,
