Leaves me with two questions:
a) a simple find_file( FooConfig.cmake )+include( FooConfig.cmake ) is what
you mean with "simple FindFoo.cmake"? Why not leave that to cmake and
instead uses the Config-Mode of find_package?
b) If FindFoo.cmake is to be used, should this be installed by the module
Foo, or the modules Bar+Baz should both have a copy (or preferably move the
copies to a common dependency)?

In case you're wondering: I want to do a little cleanup on the modules I
maintain, since the two that provide libraries had FindFoo.cmake written
with CMake 2.4.5 in mind...
