Package: cmake
Version: 2.4.5-1
Followup-For: Bug #420142


in addition, the description of XXX_FIND_QUIETLY in readme.txt is
probably wrong. it reads:

 If the QUIET option is given to the command it will set the variable
 XXX_FIND_QUIETLY to true before loading the FindXXX.cmake module.  If
 this variable is set the module should not complain about not being
 able to find the package and should never issue a FATAL_ERROR.

This would mean that FIND_PACKAGE(... QUIET REQUIRED ...) would
*never* issue a FATAL_ERROR, not even if the package is not found,
which would make the "QUIET REQUIRED"-combination useless.

I suggest to change the above paragraph to:

 ...should only complain about not being able to find the package if it
 is REQUIRED.
