Standard for placing any template Find-modules with the original lib? (was: Re: Strange commit to FindKDE4Internal.cmake)

That reminds me of something I wanted to ask for a while:

A few libraries provide in their sources a template for the Find-module for 
itselves, as a nice starting point for devs using the lib and needing that 
Find-module.

But IIRC those libs had the template file in the same "cmake/modules" subdir 
where also the normal Find-modules which are actually used by the lib's 
buildsystem are located. A little bit confusing, at least for me the template 
file would be ideally in a separate file and even have a special name, like 
"Find*.cmake.template" or similar, to help discoverability.

Do you have a proposal or know a pattern-to-follow how to name and where to 
place such Find-module templates? Would be nice if there could be some 
standard.

E.g. for my RIFF-parser lib libkoralle I would like to ship a template Find-
module, but also want any user of the lib discover what I provided for them, 
so my work is not uselessly duplicated. Placing that in extra-cmake-modules 
would help only KDE-centric devs, no?
