-The properties permitted to be set on or read from an ``INTERFACE`` library

-
-* Properties matching ``INTERFACE_*``
-* Built-in properties matching ``COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_*``
-* ``EXPORT_NAME``

-* ``IMPORTED``

 ``INTERFACE`` libraries may be installed and exported.  Any content they refer
 to must be installed separately:
