  - Defines FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE function to help display
    find result messages only once

+# FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE(<name> "message for user" "find result details")
+#
+# This macro is intended to be used in FindXXX.cmake modules files.
+# It will print a message once for each unique find result.
+# This is useful for telling the user where a package was found.
+# The first argument specifies the name (XXX) of the package.
+# The second argument specifies the message to display.
+# The third argument lists details about the find result so that
+# if they change the message will be displayed again.
+# The macro also obeys the QUIET argument to the find_package command.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#  IF(X11_FOUND)
+#    FIND_PACKAGE_MESSAGE(X11 "Found X11: ${X11_X11_LIB}"
+#      "[${X11_X11_LIB}][${X11_INCLUDE_DIR}]")
+#  ELSE(X11_FOUND)
+#   ...
+#  ENDIF(X11_FOUND)
+
