[CMake] FIND_PATH() search custom path first

[George]

Hi,

I have a situation where I need to prefer a custom-build of a library over
any system-installed versions. I understand that the paths in the HINTS
variable will be searched before the system ones, but the documentation
discourages its use with hard-coded paths.

If I do hard-code a HINTed path, what problems would that cause?

Thank you,
George
