Usually a FindFoobar.cmake is not supplied with Foobar, but rather with any project that wants to use Foobar. That said, there's a better way than FindFoobar, look into the "Config" mode of find_package. It allows your foobar project to install a few files in specific locations alongside the library files themselves. Then any project that wants to use the libs can do a find_package(Foobar) and cmake will find those config-files (in worst case the user has to specify the foobar installation prefix in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH).
