[CMake] CMakeFindDependencyMacro and components

[Guillaume Dumont]

According to documentation:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/module/CMakeFindDependencyMacro.html

find_dependency() wraps a find_package()
<http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/command/find_package.html#command:find_package>
call for a package dependency. It is designed to be used in a
<package>Config.cmake file, and it forwards the correct parameters for
EXACT, QUIET and REQUIRED which were passed to the original find_package()
<http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/command/find_package.html#command:find_package>
call. It also sets an informative diagnostic message if the dependency
could not be found.

But there is no mention of COMPONENTS and other find_package arguments so I
guess I will have to resort to using find_package or a custom
CMakeFindDependencyMacro.
