Hi,

I pushed the FindPackageCheckArchLinuxSymlinks branch to stage, haven't merged 
it yet.

It makes cmake warn if /lib64/ is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/ and a 
Config.cmake file has been found in one of both (since any relative directory 
references may be wrong then), see the "General Config.cmake file issue on 
ArchLinux" thread here from November.

The branch doesn't actually fix anything, it only detects this very specific 
situation and prints a warning message. I am actually not aware of a solution 
for this problem, except using full absolute paths in the Config.cmake files 
and so making the Config.cmake files not relocatable again.

Comments ?
Should I merge into next ?

Alex
