However, if you discover the problem is a general one for

illustrative example to use for your renewed effort at developing a
reliable --find-package capability.
I recently ran into a project using --find-package and found a
limitation that could be very problematic. If a find module in CMake
uses a try-compile, or tries to figure out anything to do with the
compiler, this command will fail. I am not sure there is a good way
around this. Certainly try-compile is not actively discouraged in the
CMake Modules, so this can be added to any module at any time, breaking
--find-package in the future.
