Ok, new day, new branch ;-)

This is now in the FindPackage_CONFIG_MODULEKeywordsFirst branch on stage, 
branched away from FindPackage_ImprovedErrorMessages.

I haven't adjusted the default mode error message yet.
The other error messages are quite close to what you show below.

Also the new AUTHOR_WARNING text is not really very good yet.
Documentation and test is also still missing.

There is the potential issue with "CONFIG" and "MODULE" being in use as module 
names already somewhere.
