+variable_requires
+-----------------
+
+Deprecated. Use the if() command instead.
+
+Assert satisfaction of an option's required variables.
+
+::
+
+ variable_requires(TEST_VARIABLE RESULT_VARIABLE
+ REQUIRED_VARIABLE1
+ REQUIRED_VARIABLE2 ...)
+
+The first argument (TEST_VARIABLE) is the name of the variable to be
+tested, if that variable is false nothing else is done. If
+TEST_VARIABLE is true, then the next argument (RESULT_VARIABLE) is a
+variable that is set to true if all the required variables are set.
+The rest of the arguments are variables that must be true or not set
+to NOTFOUND to avoid an error. If any are not true, an error is
+reported.
