Unable to find GMock/GTest on distributions other than Ubuntu

Bug description:
CMake fails to find GMock/GTest on Fedora and Gentoo with
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
<snip>
CMake Error at cmake/FindGtest.cmake:13 (message):
google-mock package not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
tests/CMakeLists.txt:20 (find_package)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
within the call to
find_path(GMOCK_INSTALL_DIR gmock/CMakeLists.txt HINTS /usr/src)
in cmake/FindGtest.cmake line 10. I suspect, this is because
gmock/CMakeLists.txt is not installed on those distributions along
with the rest of the package.
Anyway, Google Test developers discourage the use of a pre-compiled library,
see their FAQ [1]. This issue also affects
- https://launchpad.net/process-cpp
- https://launchpad.net/properties-cpp
Possible solution: I have an alternative find-script at hand that also
uses ExternalProject_Add() but always downloads and extracts Google
Mock in your build tree, automatically adds the Google Mock libraries
as dependency of the test, and compiles the Google Mock libraries
along with your project.
I'm willing to contribute this find-script to your project if you wish
but I need to check with my employer's Open Source contribution
policies before I do that.
