-# FindEigen.cmake - Find Eigen library, version >= 3.
-#
-# This module defines the following variables:
-#
-# EIGEN_FOUND: TRUE iff Eigen is found.
-# EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIRS: Include directories for Eigen.
-# EIGEN_VERSION: Extracted from Eigen/src/Core/util/Macros.h
-# EIGEN_WORLD_VERSION: Equal to 3 if EIGEN_VERSION = 3.2.0
-# EIGEN_MAJOR_VERSION: Equal to 2 if EIGEN_VERSION = 3.2.0
-# EIGEN_MINOR_VERSION: Equal to 0 if EIGEN_VERSION = 3.2.0
-# FOUND_INSTALLED_EIGEN_CMAKE_CONFIGURATION: True iff the version of Eigen
-#                                            found was built & installed /
-#                                            exported as a CMake package.
-#
-# The following variables control the behaviour of this module:
-#
-# EIGEN_PREFER_EXPORTED_EIGEN_CMAKE_CONFIGURATION: TRUE/FALSE, iff TRUE then
-#                           then prefer using an exported CMake configuration
-#                           generated by Eigen over searching for the
-#                           Eigen components manually.  Otherwise (FALSE)
-#                           ignore any exported Eigen CMake configurations and
-#                           always perform a manual search for the components.
-#                           Default: TRUE iff user does not define this variable
-#                           before we are called, and does NOT specify
-#                           EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR_HINTS, otherwise FALSE.

-#
-# The following variables are also defined by this module, but in line with
-# CMake recommended FindPackage() module style should NOT be referenced directly
-# by callers (use the plural variables detailed above instead).  These variables
-# do however affect the behaviour of the module via FIND_[PATH/LIBRARY]() which

-# are set with valid values _in the CMake cache_. This means that if these
-# variables are set directly in the cache, either by the user in the CMake GUI,
-# or by the user passing -DVAR=VALUE directives to CMake when called (which
-# explicitly defines a cache variable), then they will be used verbatim,
-# bypassing the HINTS variables and other hard-coded search locations.
-#
-# EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR: Include directory for CXSparse, not including the
-#                    include directory of any dependencies.

-  # respectively in [1].
-  #
-  # By default, exported build directories are (in theory) detected first, and

-  # packages are usually detected in preference to exported package build
-  # directories.
-  #
-  # To ensure a more consistent response across all OSs, and as users usually
-  # want to prefer an installed version of a package over a locally built one
-  # where both exist (esp. as the exported build directory might be removed
-  # after installation), we first search with NO_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY which
-  # means any build directories exported by the user are ignored, and thus
-  # installed directories are preferred.  If this fails to find the package
-  # we then research again, but without NO_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY, so any
-  # exported build directories will now be detected.
-  #
-  # To prevent confusion on Windows, we also pass NO_CMAKE_BUILDS_PATH (which
-  # is item 5) in [1]), to not preferentially use projects that were built
-  # recently with the CMake GUI to ensure that we always prefer an installed
-  # version if available.
