Yes, mostly.
In other words: the files in cmake/modules/ are files which could come in 
theory with cmake.
If the files are related to the current project, like the Config.cmake.in 
files, or a ConfigureChecks.cmake which contains a bunch of e.g. 
check_include_files() statements, I wouldn't put them into cmake/modules/, but 
into the normal source dir.

Or do you mean the installed location ?
