If you read carefully,, that is not exactly what we want to do or even 
what Dave is proposing.   The process should be:

1. try to upstream cmake config files to the project you are using
2. if there is not already a cmake module and you need to find a version 
of the software that does not or never will have upstream config files, 
then contribute that to CMake.

We don't want a no-new module ban.  We just want to change the process a 
bit.  If a module is needed, useful, and general, it should go in CMake.
