The alternative to this hardcoding is, if the find module is broken
for the "standard" system, fix it and submit a patch (a lot are only
minimally maintained and most are at least outdated stylewise), or if
you know your lib is in a weird place on your system, append that
location to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH when calling cmake, rather than from the
build. For matlab, you might consider using my "ProgramFilesGlob.cmake"
module to avoid specifying a list of directories that will become
outdated - see
http://github.com/rpavlik/wiimote-head-tracker-gui/blob/master/cmake/FindParasolid.cmake
with one module that uses it here:

You'll find as I have that the "find whatevers" are not all that they
are cracked up to be. CUDA is another example. find_package should
really be named
attempt_to_find_package_and_when_you_can't_simply_tell_me_the_vars_to_set(
package_name )
I have found that FindWhatevers do not allow for a ordered
specification of search directories of where the build spec developer
believes them to be on their system. If you look into these you will
see a set of predefined search directories that when things change are
not up to date such as C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\R2010a, C:\\Program
Files\\MATLAB\\R2009b, etc install dirs.
I have been doing the following:
--snip matlab_config.cmake--
macro( matlab_config )
message( "MATLAB_INCLUDE_DIR = ${MATLAB_INCLUDE_DIR}" )
#MATLAB_LIBRARIES
#MATLAB_MEX_LIBRARY
#MATLAB_MX_LIBRARY
#MATLAB_ENG_LIBRARY
if( BUILD_64BIT )
set( LIB_DIR win64 )
message( "BUILDING FOR 64 bit Windows" )
else(BUILD_64BIT)
set( LIB_DIR win32 )
message( "BUILDING FOR 32 bit Windows" )
endif(BUILD_64BIT)
SET( MATLAB_ROOT_DIR "C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\R2010a" CACHE
STRING "" )
SET( MATLAB_INCLUDE_DIR "${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}\\extern\\include"
CACHE STRING "" FORCE )
find_library(MATLAB_LIB_DIR libmx.lib PATHS ${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}
${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}/extern/lib/${LIB_DIR}/microsoft )
message("MATLAB_LIB_DIR =
${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}/extern/lib/${LIB_DIR}/microsoft" )
message( "MATLAB_LIB_DIR = ${MATLAB_LIB_DIR}" )
message( "matlab lib dir = ${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}/extern/lib/${LIB_DIR}" )
SET( MATLAB_LIBRARIES ${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}/bin/${LIB_DIR} CACHE

SET( MATLAB_MEX_LIBRARY

SET( MATLAB_MX_LIBRARY

SET( MATLAB_ENG_LIBRARY
${MATLAB_ROOT_DIR}/extern/lib/${LIB_DIR}/microsoft CACHE STRING "" FORCE )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${MATLAB_INCLUDE_DIR} )
endmacro()
--end snip--
