It is not necessarily wrong, if e.g. the XXXConfig.cmake file must find some
other package to work. But then, you install that FindXXX.cmake file along with
the XXXConfig.cmake and in the XXXConfig.cmake file temporarily expand the
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH variable before calling find_package (or include() it
directly after setting variables such as YYY_FIND_REQUIRED etc).
