That's kind of ok.
(there was a long discussion about whether ExactCaseNAME_LIBRARIES or
UPPERCASENAME_LIBRARIES should be recommended, from just looking at the find-
modules which exist I'm clearly favouring ALLUPPERCASE, since they are simply
the big majority).

You can also do cmake --trace ...args, which will print every cmake line which
is executed.
If a FindFoo.cmake is in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, this one should be used, only if
no such file is there, cmake starts searching for FooConfig.cmake. Is that the
case ?
