It would be a big plus. I really hate to break peoples builds without a
good reason. Both FindMPI and FindCurses had to be fixed for backwards
compatibility recently. Is it not 100% compatible? If not, can it be
made to be? Does it:
1. find the same stuff it used to
2. have the same variables available
3. not switch from cache to non-cache on any variables.
If it had all of that, I would put it in right away. If not, I am more
hesitant.
