find_package(Foo REQUIRED)

[Sebastian Trüg]

the way I see it you simply have to make all dependencies non-REQUIRED and 
then in macro_log_feature mark them as required. That will make the summary 
terminate with an error. But only after printing the missing deps.
Works perfectly with K3b.

Cheers,
Sebastian
