Hi list!
I'm a big fan of the new INTERFACE targets & target usage requirements,
but none of the provided Find<package>.cmake files seem to take
advantage of the new paradigm. Checking the wiki, the old
Find<package>.cmake seem to be deprecated, with most of the information
on authoring new packages assuming that you are the developer of the
module, not the consumer. What is the recommended way to deal with
packages that don't provide these config files? I'll happily write my
own Find<package>.cmake files, however that approach seems deprecated
and I haven't found any good examples of find modules that define IMPORT
or INTERFACE targets instead of the older method of setting a bunch of
<package>_xxx variables.
