Summary:                    CMAKE_MODULE_PATH should have sensible default
Description: 
It would be nice if CMake encouraged certain project layout by setting
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to some sensible default, say
"${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/Modules/" for example.

As of version 2.8.5, the variable is empty by default -- which forces the user
to decide on a path in his project and explicitly set the variable early in
toplevel CMakeLists.txt.
