Me neither.  This answer [1] lists the places that CMake looks for the
BlahConfig.cmake file so on Unix it's fairly simple.  Set the
DESTINATION to 'lib' which will install it to
/usr/local/lib/BlahConfig.cmake where, presumable, find_package will
locate it.  I don't understand how this is meant to work on Windows,
though.  How is CMake meant to know which root to start thee search
under?
