Description

Currently it is not possible to link Avro-cpp as a dependency to a c++ project using on FetchContent(). The principle reason is that the include directories are not properly exposed on the avrocpp and avrocpp_s targets. One other problem is that the necessary libraries are not linked to the avrocpp_s target, meaning any attempt to link against that target will result in linker errors.
