Steven,

Read the documentation for the find_library() command the output of which
you should use in target_link_libraries().  Take note of the
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH (2.6.0) options.  Using these it
should be possible to make CMake find libraries in paths you desire before
it checks the default system paths.  You can also use NO_DEFAULT_PATH and
specify the paths directly to the find_library() command.
