[CMake] Where to put own FindXXX.cmake

[Mike Jackson]

This is what I do:

Inside the top level of your Project directory create a "Resources" folder.
Then in your top level CMakeLists.txt file add the following:

# Look in our Resources FIRST for FindXXX modules
SET (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Resources
${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} )

Works for me. Not _real_ scalable depending on how many projects you
have using the same modules.

You could have your own modules directory located somewhere on your
system and then just use the above but set the path to your own
modules directory..
