Summary:                    FindGTest module should try to find sources in
addition to binaries
Description: 
It would be nice, if FindGTest module could find directory with sources of
Google Test Framework.

FAQ on GTest website clearly states, that GTest should not be compiled system
wide, and that's what CMake currently assumes. Instead, GTest should be
statically compiled to each executable to make sure that the compiler flags of
GTest and tested executable are the same
(http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_install_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog)

When found, there could be some GTEST_SOURCES_DIRECTORY which then could be
added with ADD_SUBDIRECTORY and compiled along the project as per FAQ suggestion
