Alex, please add documentation for this variable next to where
we document the other CMAKE_FIND_* variables.

I think all target export file code is still generated upper case.

We've supported empty end*() and case-insensitive commands for so long this
shouldn't be a problem in generated code.

Actually use of the variable CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NAME won't work when
a targets file is loaded by older CMake versions, but in this case that
should just lead to a less informative error message.
