Summary:                    CMake output when looking for objects could be more
compact
Description: 
When cmake looks for functions etc it prints two (almost identical) messages
twice, e.g.

-- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads
-- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads - not found

there could easily be dozens and dozens of those messages so finding something
in the output can be hard. It would be nice if cmake could compact those two
into one, either by not putting new line after first message and just adding
"found/not fond/..." after the step is done. Or returning the caret before
printing status line instead of doing new line (that'll help at least on the
terminals that support that).

Steps to Reproduce: 
Run cmake and observe the "Looking for" lines
