[CMake] FIND_LIBRARY bug?

[Eric Bolz]

A better solution is to search in a different order.  If the user knows 
enough to specify the exact places where s/he wants FIND_LIBRARY() to 
look, who is cmake to say otherwise. 

I suggest the following order:
1)  path passed into FIND_LIBRARY command
2)  CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH  // environment variable
3)  PATH  // environment variable
