Hi,



I came across FTXUI and it seems very nice. I want to write an ebuild for Gentoo users to install system-wide this library, but I have two questions:



1) I noticed that compiling with Portage this software, there were static libraries installed

```

>>> Merging sys-libs/ftxui-9999 to /

--- /usr/

--- /usr/lib64/

>>> /usr/lib64/ftxui-screen.a

>>> /usr/lib64/ftxui-dom.a

>>> /usr/lib64/ftxui-component.a

--- /usr/lib64/cmake/

```

Looking at the top-level `CMakeLists.txt` I see that you are importing your targets as static libraries. Can we provide an option for that?



And 2) Your example [here](https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/ftxui-starter/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt) fetches FTXUI as an external project or something. Is it possible for cmake to find it somehow if it installed in the system?



Thanks!
