But that's OSG.  Says nothing about OpenThreads and Producer.  I'm 
saying, write a CMake script that installs OpenThreads and Producer in a 
way they're expected to be installed.  There's really no value in 
CMakeifying a build that the library maintainers themselves aren't going 
to support.  All your OSG users actually want is the convenience of a 
one-step approach.  A toplevel script that installs needed dependencies, 
then builds OSG based on the available dependencies, would do the job.  
So now you need only worry about CMakeifying OSG.
