*NEVER* install in ${CMAKE_ROOT}! Read the "config-mode" section of the 
find_package documentation on information about where CMake searches 
for package config files. See 
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html and search for 
"Config mode provides an elaborate interface". There you will find the 
list of directories searched, along with an explanation of how the 
directory prefixes are constructed.
