[CMake] find module configuration not found

Hi Owen,

the find module which comes with CMake is called FindOpenGL, and is
supposed to be used as:

find_package(OpenGL ...)

Note the case. From the error messages, it seems you're calling
find_package(OPENGL). This could work on a case-insensitive system (which I
believe Mac OS X uses by default), but would definitely not work on a
case-sensitive one such as normal Linux filesystems.
