So you don't want that, you want it to be either part of cmake or part of
all projects using that library. The reason is simple, if the library is
not installed, its find-module won't be installed. Hence upon the cmake-run
in the project using the lib you'll get a cryptic error message that
library_DIR is not set properly.
