I use to rely on a custom FindXercesC.cmake file that was using XercesC_ROOT to 
figure all this out.
Is there any way to do the same here?

There seem to be no Xxx_ROOT_DIR handled by this module
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindXercesC.html

No, but CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should be sufficient. We can certainly add XercesC_ROOT, but is it really needed? Matthieu, did you try CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH at all?

(I'm not sure what the CMake policy is on this point. Is CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH support alone sufficient for Find modules?)

If the consensus is that Find modules should all provide ROOT_DIR type variables, then I'm sure patches to FindXercesC and FindXalanC would be appreciated.
