+# -------
+#
+# Try to find xkbcommon on a Unix system
+# If found, this will define the following variables:
+#
+#   ``XKB_FOUND``
+#     True if XKB is available
+#   ``XKB_LIBRARIES``
+#     Link these to use XKB
+#   ``XKB_INCLUDE_DIRS``
+#     Include directory for XKB
+#   ``XKB_DEFINITIONS``
+#     Compiler flags for using XKB
+#
+# Additionally, the following imported targets will be defined:
+#
+#   ``XKB::XKB``
+#     The XKB library
