David,

I understand that, but as others pointed out, we are far from
such ideal situation.

It seems, there hasn't been enough marketing push adoption of project
config files forward, I think.

My main motivation was to simplify inclusion of find modules in central place
and make such central place the major sink for modules.

I prefer to adopt what CMake recommends myself.
