Public bug reported:

This macro wasn't in Zorba 2.0. Therefore, using it in modules means
that those modules require Zorba 2.1 for building, even though they (as
far as I know) don't need it for running.

There will probably be cases in the future where such dependencies are
un-avoidable, but in this case SET_CMAKE_MODULE_PATH is at best a small
convenience, so I don't think it's worth the cost. In fact, I think it's
actually kind of a bad idea, because it enforces a directory naming
convention on module authors.
