For the extra-cmake-modules package, I wrote some macros to help with writing component-based Find modules, which are non-trivial to get right.
The documentation for them can be found here: http://api.kde.org/ecm/module/ECMFindModuleHelpers.html I've found them incredibly useful in writing classic Find modules, where you just want to find a bunch of libraries and their associated headers, but you also need to account for the dependencies between those libraries. The interface is a little unusual: you have to set up some information- providing variables before calling the macros to describe the information for each component. As an example, see http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=extra-cmake-modules.git&a=blob&h=c5a56c1635d03acdaf5ccd780b9a358d6f6655fd&hb=4f81d1a92e4ccc2ce7b33d2860397a526b1a4d2f&f=find-modules%2FFindWayland.cmake (which I would also submit for inclusion to CMake if this is accepted). Would this be something that might be included in CMake? I have some ideas about how to extend it to be able to account for debug vs release libraries as well (roughly following a simplified version of the pattern of the FindQt4 module).
