Sometimes a library, like PNG, creates both, and the meanings are
distinct.  *_LIBRARY is the PNG library alone.  *_LIBRARIES includes
all of the link libraries you need to actually make PNG work, such as
zlib.

The only way I've found to use the Modules in practice, is to read
their source code.  There's not just a consistency problem, there's a
documentation problem.  Is there any way to automate the documentation
of modules?  Like require the use of functions that will spit out
their input and output variables in a document format?
