Do you not produce a fooConfig.cmake with export targets for your build 
directories? :-)

Projects I work on usually make two fooConfig.cmake's; one to be 
installed, and one that lets other projects use the project from its 
build directory. Both use exported targets, via install(EXPORT) and 
export() respectively.
