Well, it seems like good documentation, but make sure to follow the
instructions in:

  http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Module_Maintainers

which also includes a link to the readme.txt in the Modules directory:

  http://www.cmake.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Modules/readme.txt?root=CMake&view=markup

that provides the official requirements for all find modules. Note
that many of the Modules bundled with CMake do not follow these
guidelines (due to backwards compatibility issues and other
significant reasons, of course), so be careful which ones you use as
reference.

Hope that helps.
