No, the "ROOT_DIR" variables are to be set by the user at configure time 
- let's say you installed something into a weird directory, you'd like 
to be able to tell it where to find it.  You wouldn't generally set it 
in your cmakelists.txt, except if you know a relative location (for 
example, there is no PARTB_ROOT_DIR set, but it's always bundled with 
PARTA, and you have a PARTA_ROOT_DIR, you might consider setting 
PARTB_ROOT_DIR to be the value of PARTA_ROOT_DIR)
