You shouldn't do that! For your own project, don't write a FindXXX.cmake, but a XXXConfig.cmake or XXX-config.cmake (as described by the documentation of find_package). Also, refer to the same documentation to find out in which directories CMake tries to find such a file.

In order to write such a XXXConfig.cmake file, you should also look into install(EXPORT ...).
