Actually, you have to use ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} or
${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} or some other CMake variable that resolves to an
absolute path.  CMAKE_MODULE_PATH can't be used with relative paths.
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH  tell CMake to search first in directories listed in
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH when you use FIND_PACKAGE() or INCLUDE()
 SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/MyCMakeScripts)
FIND_PACKAGE(HelloWorld) http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables
