Indeed, that's why I suggested to promote some sort of incubation
scheme, to motivate creators of those modules to join efforts.
I guess, I may be dreaming here :)

That's why, for many software packages, there are M modules
for P projects (P >= M), but none is complete enough to make it
upstream into CMake, thus lots of ubiquitous and major software
packages have no official support in CMake.
IMHO, it is bad situation.
