How to export header and library build flags for non-catkin projects?

For some of our in-house ROS nodes, I want to link against some of our proprietary headers and libraries, none of which are built using catkin or cmake. What I would like to do is create a ROS package that acts as a wrapper, so that all my other ROS packages can just list the wrapper package as a dependency, and all the include and library C++ flags that point to our proprietary software are automatically included. What's the most efficient way to do that?

The easiest way to provide custom CMake logic with a catkin package is using an extras file:

http://docs.ros.org/api/catkin/html/d...

This allows you to specify a cmake file for catkin to include(...) anytime that package is find_package'ed.
