pybind11Common.cmake
#[======================================================[.rst

Adds the following targets::

    pybind11::pybind11 - link to headers and pybind11
    pybind11::module - Adds module links
    pybind11::embed - Adds embed links
    pybind11::lto - Link time optimizations (manual selection)
    pybind11::thin_lto - Link time optimizations (manual selection)
    pybind11::python_link_helper - Adds link to Python libraries
    pybind11::windows_extras - MSVC bigobj and mp for building multithreaded
    pybind11::opt_size - avoid optimizations that increase code size

Adds the following functions::

    pybind11_strip(target) - strip target after building on linux/macOS
    pybind11_find_import(module) - See if a module is installed.
