Description

Ensure CMake style is consistent across projects. Note that linting is handled in a separate issue: #1132

This may involve building out a common set of CMake utilities.

But more likely just means that similar CMake tasks are accomplished in a similar way across projects, so that it's easier to grok one project given familiarity with another, and easier to copy-paste and customise snippets from one project to another.
