[CMake] using cmake to find libs

[William A. Hoffman]

CMake does not currently look at INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES or LINK_DIRECTORIES in the FIND_XXXX commands,
although that is not a bad idea.   Although it is a bit of a chicken and the egg problem.   
How would it find the first one?  CMake does however look in CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables.  Those variables have the same syntax as the local PATH variable,
windows ; separated, and unix : seperated.

I would consider this to be a fairly large deficiency, if I have missed something please let me know.
