Note: this question was motivated by having some troubles with HDF5 but
requires no familiarity with HDF5.

The HDF5 source distribution installs a very nice config-module (creates
imported targets unlike FindHDF5.cmake).

However it installs it to `<prefix>/share/cmake` which path is not searched
by `find_package(hdf5 CONFIG)`, in accordance with the documentation.

I'd like to hear the opinion of the wise cmake people here whether this is
a bug or not.

I failed to convince a developer over at HDFGroup that it is a bug and they
should install  to '<prefix>/share/cmake/hdf5' instead. But maybe I'm
wrong, that's why I'm asking it here.

Cheers,
Tamas
