# - Check if the function exists.
# CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS(FUNCTION VARIABLE)
# - macro which checks if the function exists
#  FUNCTION - the name of the function
#  VARIABLE - variable to store the result
#
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to
# modify the way the check is run:
#
#  CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
#  CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
#  CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
#  CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
