[CMake] simple find_package example

[Randy Heiland]

Hmm, well if that's the case, how does one generate the HelloConfig.cmake
file?

Although, for my particular situation, my question about wanting to
generate a "Find" file still remains, I think. I have a library which is,
potentially, useful to several projects. I assume there's some sort of
"Find" template for any such lib, i.e., a project needs to be able to
locate a lib (static or dynamic) and headers, cross-platform.

thanks, Randy
