-# .. cmake:command:: add_cython_target
-#
-# Create a custom rule to generate the source code for a Python extension module
-# using cython.
-#
-#   add_cython_target(<Name> [<CythonInput>]
-#                     [C | CXX]
-#                     [PY2 | PY3]
-#                     [OUTPUT_VAR <OutputVar>])
-#
-# ``<Name>`` is the name of the new target, and ``<CythonInput>``
-# is the path to a cython source file.  Note that, despite the name, no new
-# targets are created by this function.  Instead, see ``OUTPUT_VAR`` for
-# retrieving the path to the generated source for subsequent targets.
-#
-# If only ``<Name>`` is provided, and it ends in the ".pyx" extension, then it
-# is assumed to be the ``<CythonInput>``.  The name of the input without the
-# extension is used as the target name.  If only ``<Name>`` is provided, and it
-# does not end in the ".pyx" extension, then the ``<CythonInput>`` is assumed to
-# be ``<Name>.pyx``.
-#
-# The Cython include search path is amended with any entries found in the
-# ``INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`` property of the directory containing the
-# ``<CythonInput>`` file.  Use ``include_directories`` to add to the Cython
-# include search path.
-#
-# Options:
-#
-# ``C | CXX``
-#   Force the generation of either a C or C++ file.  By default, a C file is
-#   generated, unless the C language is not enabled for the project; in this
-#   case, a C++ file is generated by default.
-#
-# ``PY2 | PY3``
-#   Force compilation using either Python-2 or Python-3 syntax and code
-#   semantics.  By default, Python-2 syntax and semantics are used if the major
-#   version of Python found is 2.  Otherwise, Python-3 syntax and semantics are
-#   used.
-#
-# ``OUTPUT_VAR <OutputVar>``
-#   Set the variable ``<OutputVar>`` in the parent scope to the path to the
-#   generated source file.  By default, ``<Name>`` is used as the output
-#   variable name.
-#
-# Defined variables:
-#
-# ``<OutputVar>``
-#   The path of the generated source file.
-#
-# Cache variables that affect the behavior include:
-#
-# ``CYTHON_ANNOTATE``
-#   Whether to create an annotated .html file when compiling.
-#
-# ``CYTHON_FLAGS``
-#   Additional flags to pass to the Cython compiler.
-#
-# Usage example:
-#
-# .. code-block:: cmake
-#
-#   find_package(Cython)
-#
-#   # Note: In this case, either one of these arguments may be omitted; their
-#   # value would have been inferred from that of the other.
-#   add_cython_target(cy_code cy_code.pyx)
-#
-#   add_library(cy_code MODULE ${cy_code})
-#   target_link_libraries(cy_code ...)
