That makes sense if the library in question has a standard environment
variable convention.  Otherwise, this isn't CMake's job.   Dealing
with environmental pollution is a nightmare.  -NOTFOUND is a much
better result than "found weird library that user forgot about that
isn't even compiled for the correct runtime."  Realize, Windows is the
platform you're probably looking for this stuff.  Keeping MSVC,
Cygwin, and MinGW build environments separate from each other is a
PITA.
