Would it not be a good idea that cmake first searches for that file in
the project directory and if not found then look into the cmake
installation directory?

It would make it very easy for one to distribute the project with the
respective cmake support files when cmake officially does not support
the configuration. Or if the for some reason one wants to override the
default configuration.
