Ideally packages should provide CMake packaging files as documented here:

 https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.4/manual/cmake-packages.7.html

However, since header-only libraries tend to have no build system this
may be a tough sell upstream.  Find modules are the fallback approach.

Please read through the cmake-developer(7) manual section on modules
and find modules:
