drake.cps is the Common Package Specification for Drake, that provides the
necessary information for Drake to be consumed by other projects. Right now it
is hand edited; the list of includes should match the list of folders in
package_drake.sh's include/external folder. This is also used to generate
drake-config.cmake via cps2cmake.
