says that modules that are found and ran from cmake modules dir should
prefer cmake-provided modules. find_package() and include() still look
in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH first.
After some investigating I've come up with a proposal examplified in
the attached FindGDAL.cmake script. It simply calls the cmake provided
FindGDAL.cmake if it exists and returns if it succeeds in finding GDAL
using that, otherwise continue with our local cmake code.
Pro: Wont clutter our root CMakeLists.txt
Con: If we begin to write more advanced Findxxx modules (using
COMPONENTS, REQUIRED etc.) we may have to revise this scheme.

Also, I've modified the FindCOLLADA.cmake to locate the current 2.1 versions of the COLLADA DOM in the build directories under VC8. I've also added a COLLADA_LIBRARY_DEBUG spec. Other flavors may be added depending on compiler version and DOM version."
contain better support for environmental variables to pre-empt the
autodection default search path order which is very helpful for people
who do automated builds. (I recommend that the remaining modules
consider adding the same system to make things consistent and easier
for those people that want to do the automated builds.)
The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH has also been added to help people. I don't
recommend adding this to the other modules because it looks like CMake
agreed with my idea and will be adding the support in 2.6. So when
that ships, people will get it for free. (In the meantime, my modules
that do have it, it can be used.)
Finally, I've submitted all of these modules to official CMake plus
more so they will be in the next version of CMake. It looks like I may
need to sort some compatibility issues out with the KDE people who
seem to have conflicting modules, but this is unrelated to the updates
submitted here as OSG already has these conflicts. I figured I would
just sync OSG up with my current/best versions.
Also of note, I added the large batch of Findosg*.cmake modules to
CMake so people building against OpenSceneGraph can use these without
writing their own. I wasn't sure if I should submit them here or not
since they are for building against OSG and not for building OSG
itself. So they are not included.
