+  - improve the CMake 
+       1. Consistent use of CMake usage requirements to propagate include and link dependencies
+       2. Full use of the CMakePackageConfigHelpers module to generate the `podioConfig.cmake`      file and associated `podioTargets.cmake`
+       3. Automatically refind the ROOT dependency
+       4. Standardize install paths for CMake and template files
+  A podio client can, in CMake, do
+  ```cmake
+  find_package(podio REQUIRED)
+  add_executable(foo foo.cc)
+  target_link_libraries(foo podio::podio)
+  ```
+  and all include/link paths will be set correctly.
