See the readme.txt in the Modules/ directory. The variables for the individual files should be singular (i.e. the variables in the find_xxx() commands), the variables which should be used should be plural (since e.g. you may need to link to several libraries when you want to use foo). > c.)

Is this intended? Why? CMAKE_C_FLAGS is used for all buildtypes, the three variables above are used only for the specific buildtype.
