The name REQUIRED is historical because components were once listed only
after the REQUIRED keyword.  Only later was the COMPONENTS keyword added,
but the <pkg>_FIND_REQUIRED_<comp> names were already in use.

Still I think the proposed behavior makes sense and is achievable with a
policy.  I'll look at the two topics you pushed for this thread when I get
a chance.
