 This is a target which can be linked to other targets using `target_link_libraries`, in order to
 enable the recommended JUCE warnings when building them.
 
+This target just sets compiler and linker flags, and doesn't have any associated libraries or
+include directories. When building plugins, it's probably desirable to link this to the shared code
+target with `PUBLIC` visibility, so that all the plugin wrappers inherit the same compile/link
+flags.

 This is a target which can be linked to other targets using `target_link_libraries`, in order to
 enable the recommended JUCE optimisation and debug flags.
