I'm not talking about changing XXX -> Xxx, I'm talking about writing
FindXxx.cmake identically to the variables inside, so if you name your
file FindXXX.cmake then please name the variables XXX_LIBRARIES, and if
you name your file FindXxx, then please name the var Xxx_LIBRARIES. I
don't care the least whether one person Uses XXX, another Xxx and a
third xxx. The only thing is, I want the variables provided by the
package to use the same case that the package part of the filename uses.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
