I consider this still experimental.
Currently in this mode cmake simply does a
find_package(ThePackage QUIET)

This will fail if the Find-module relies e.g. on try-compile().

I'm thinking about restricting this to Config-mode. Those files should not need try_compile()/ or try_run().

What do you think ?
