Just add a package dependency to your manifest.xml, include the
exported headers and build. No special cmake macros needed.

But, the referenced package must export things properly for that to
work. It needs to put headers in appropriate places, build shared
libraries (if any) using the cmake rosbuild_add_library() macro, and
<export> the cpp cflags and lflags in its manifest.xml.
