[CMake] Library locations returned by find_package() and find_library()

Hi,
The CMake 2.8.10 manual includes the following statement in the paragraph
about link_directories() command:
"Library locations returned by find_package() and find_library() are
absolute paths."
Would it be possible to include similar clarification in the sections for
find_package() and find_library()?
A user of my library asked why
XXX_INCLUDE_DIR takes directory location, but
XXX_LIBRARIES takes absolute path to library file(s).
I've found it difficult to explain the rationale really.
I could not find any back up in the manual.
Best regards,
