Summary:                    ExternalProject_Add and find_package commands
Description: 
The proposal is to add another step to find_package command. If command can't
find package or required version of installed package is different allow
find_package command look through the list of targets added by
ExternalProject_Add command (or new one special command) and if this library is
there perform its download, compile, install and others steps on this
(configure) step.


Actually the main goal is similar to 0015588 CMake issue.
