So that you can ask cmake -L it's value.

The problem is, i don't want to parse it, i want cmake to parse it, and if 
it's in a variable cmake -L gives me it's value, it being in project, even if 
it's probably more proper, doesn't seem to give us a way to find it, and 
honestly we really don't want to write a cmake parse/evaluator :D

Anyone has an idea on how to read the version specified in the cmake project() 
function?
