[CMake] install guidelines (for multiple versions of the same library)

If I install using this kind of stuff
INSTALL (
FILES ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/H5pubconf.h
DESTINATION ${HDF5_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR}
COMPONENT headers
)
and
INSTALL (
EXPORT ${HDF5_EXPORTED_TARGETS}
DESTINATION ${HDF5_INSTALL_LIB_DIR}/cmake/hdf5-${HDF5_PACKAGE_VERSION}
FILE hdf5-targets.cmake
)
Then the hdf5-1.8.5 directory gets created with a version file inside and everything is lovely. The trouble is that the main headers go into a standard include place and when I install 1.8.7 over 1.8.5 I have multiple version files for cmake, but only one set of headers/libs and so everything is munged.
When installing many versions of the same libraries, what is the normal procedure, seems as though if I add a version postfix to the install location, I have to change all the find_package stuff too ...
are there any guidelines?
do I use
/usr/lib/hdf5-1.8.5 and
$ENV{ProgramFiles}/HDF5/${version}
etc.
And when I do FIND_PACKAGE(HDF5 "1.8.5" REQUIRED NO_MODULE PATHS "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/HDF5")
will it search all sub dirs of the provided path for the right version file stuff?
thanks
JB
