[CMake] How do I search for personal libraries?

[Michael Wild]

You should find this interesting:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Tutorials/How_to_create_a_ProjectConfig.cmake_file

In short:
* In project A create a AConfig.cmake file and export your targets
* In project B call find_package(A REQUIRED)
