Actually I run into this ALL the time (tiff, expat, hdf5) and I have
most of mine stored in "non-Standard" locations. I end up copying the
the FindXXX.cmake into my local project directory and then adding
some code like the following:
SET(EXPAT_INCLUDE_SEARCH_DIRS
$ENV{EXPAT_INSTALL}/include/expat
)
SET (EXPAT_LIB_SEARCH_DIRS
$ENV{EXPAT_INSTALL}/lib
)
FIND_PATH(EXPAT_INCLUDE_DIR
NAMES expat.h
PATHS ${EXPAT_INCLUDE_SEARCH_DIRS}
NO_DEFAULT_PATH
)
The important part is that I am looking for an environment variable
to help find the paths/libraries. This type of thing could be added
the the FindXXX.cmake files so if someone has their libs installed in
non-standard locations they can set an env variable and let cmake
find the package that way.
Also.. Why would I "hard-code" paths into a "cross-platform" build
system.. that is just asking for trouble. If Stephen has one of his
associates build his source for him then that associates computer
must be laid out the EXACT same way which is not going to happed.

What is wrong with explicitly specifying the non-standard locations
up front so that FIND_PACKAGE has nothing to do?
In other words, prime all the relevant cache variables with the non-
standard locations.
There are many Find* scripts in the CMake Modules directory. I
think it would be difficult to make a blanket recommendation
concerning all of them that would be true 100% of the time with
FIND_PACKAGE.
Are there specific packages you are having difficulty with?

This would seem to be a very frequently asked question
but I can't find it anywhere in the wiki or FAQ:
how do I tell FIND_PACKAGE to search on additional paths
to the default set, so I can work with packages installed
in non-standard locations ?
