The compilation of clar-based unit tests is broken because we do not
add the binary directory into which we generate the "clar-decls.h" and
"clar.suite" files as include directories. Instead, we accidentally set
up the source directory as include directory.

Fix this and propagate the include directories of "unit-tests.lib" to
the "unit-tests" executable so that the latter uses the same include
directories.

I am confused. What is the difference between CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR and
CMAKE_BINARY_DIR here, and why does the difference between the two
matter?

This also changes the 'scope' parameter of 'target_include_directories'
from PRIVATE to PUBLIC, but the commit message doesn't mention such a
change.

Is it intentional? If so, can the commit message be updated to explain
why this is done? If not, is this a stray change that snuck in?

(If all of this is obvious to you, I apologize for the confusion on my
end. I'm not at all familiar with our CMake bits, so the extra
explanation would help me quite a bit in making sense of this.)

Thanks,
Taylor

This is for out-of-tree builds. The outputs generated by CMake are
written into the binary directory, which is not the source directory
where the Git source files are stored.

It does mention it, it's the "propagate the include directories" part.

That's fair. I'll clarify the message a bit to provide more context.
