 ## Provided modules
-Most important modules:
+c++utilities and qtutilities provide CMake modules to reduce boilerplate code
+in the CMake files of my projects. Those modules implement the functionality
+controlled by the variables documented above. Most important modules are:
+
 * `BaseConfig`: does basic configuration, reads most of the `META`-variables
+* `QtConfig`: does basic Qt-related configuration, reads most of the Qt-specific
+  variables documented above
+* `QtGuiConfig`: does Qt-related configuration for building a Qt Widgets or
+  Qt Quick based GUI application/library
+    * must be included *before* `QtConfig`
+* `WebViewProviderConfig`: configures the webview provider
+    * used by Tag Editor and Syncthing Tray to select between Qt WebEngine,
+      Qt WebKit or disabling the built-in webview
 * `LibraryTarget`: does further configuration for building dynamic and static
-  libraries and plugins; `META_PROJECT_TYPE` must be set accordingly
+  libraries and plugins; `META_PROJECT_TYPE` can be left empty or set explicitely
+  to `library`
 * `AppTarget`: does further configuration for building an application;
-  `META_PROJECT_TYPE` must be set accordingly
-* `ShellCompletion`: enables shell completion; only works when using the
-  argument parser provided by the ApplicationUtilities::ArgumentParser class
-  of course
-* `TestTarget`: adds the test target `check` which is *not* required by target
-  `all`; uses files specified in `TEST_HEADER_FILES`/`TEST_SRC_FILES` variables
+  `META_PROJECT_TYPE` must be set to `application`

+    * `check` target is *not* required by target `all`
+    * test target uses files specified in `TEST_HEADER_FILES`/`TEST_SRC_FILES`
+      variables
+    * test target will automatically link against `cppunit` which is the test
+      framework used by all my projects; set `META_NO_CPP_UNIT=OFF` in the project
+      file to prevent this
 * `Doxygen`: adds a target to generate documentation using Doxygen
-* `WindowsResources`: handles creation of windows resources to set application
-  meta data and icon
+* `WindowsResources`: handles creation of Windows resources to set application
+  meta data and icon, ignored on other platforms
 * `ConfigHeader`: generates `resources/config.h`, must be included as the last
   module (when all configuration is done)
 
-The inclusion order of the modules matters.
+Since those modules make use of the variables explained above, the modules must
+be included *after* setting those variables. The inclusion order of the modules
+matters as well.

 files of [Syncthing Tray](https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray) should
 cover everything (library, plugin, application, tests, desktop file, Qt
