# CheckLibraryExists
# ------------------
#
# Check if the function exists.
#
# CHECK_LIBRARY_EXISTS (LIBRARY FUNCTION LOCATION VARIABLE)
#
# ::
#
#   LIBRARY  - the name of the library you are looking for
#   FUNCTION - the name of the function
#   LOCATION - location where the library should be found
#   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_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
