Description

Hi!

Eventually some users ask if is it possible to read `self.deps_cpp_info` when running `configure` or `config_options`. As we know, the dependencies graph is not ready yet.

We could include this problem under FAQ or Troubleshooting, using a common example, trying to list some option from a dependency and explaining about the dependencies graph. Actually, Memsharded made a great explanation in some issue, you could copy from there.
