Eventually we plan to have the find-modules actually present their
results through imported targets.  It just hasn't yet been done.  As of
the upcoming 2.6.2 all the needed code on the C++ side will be there.
The find-modules just need to be extended, but that will require help
from volunteers (after the first few are done as examples) due to the
large number of modules.
