 From looking at other projects, I think best practice is to put the 
file into a cmake_local or cmake_admin directory at the top of your 
source tree and then inserting the following code into your top-level 
CMakeLists.txt:

# Additional CMake modules for 3rd party library checks reside here
SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake_admin")

Cheers,
Mike
