Testing the version of the found ECM would mean that two developers (one with 
old ECM and one with new ECM) would get different behaviour, so they would 
play ping-pong fixing up things.

On the other hand, the way I did it, the new behaviour is only triggered when 
requiring ECM >= 5.38. Much like cmake triggers new policies based on the 
*required* cmake version, not the found version.

Let's not blame ECM for CI issues, if the actual problem is that running tests 
uninstalled got enabled for more than frameworks, when I had only requested 
that to happen for frameworks ;-)
