The intention of the find_package config-mode is to avoid FindFoo.cmake
altogether.

If one is provided it should be copied into each project that needs to
find the module, or distributed with a common dependency such as kdelibs
or CMake.  This is the reason I created the config-mode of find_package,
so that no modules need to be distributed to find Foo.
