Summary:                    find_dependency macro does not check for
<UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND
Description: 
The find_dependency  macro only checks for ${dep}_FOUND and not for the
alternative form <UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND.

Not <UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND considering means, that the find_dependency  macro
will not work with FindModules which use FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS and
do not set FOUND_VAR to ${CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME}, since by default it will set
<UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND. Or other FindModules which just set
<UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND.

I also think in line 80 till 83 it should use unset instead of set.
