What about having a new mandatory module (for instance, "cmake") and  
place all the FindXXXX.cmake there?

Having several different FindWhatever.cmake for the same "whatever",  
or even several copies of the same FindWhatever.cmake is going to be a  
nightmare once people start modifying the FindXXXXX.cmake in  
playground but not in kdelibs, or koffice, or... We will end up with  
applications which are able to find a library and applications which  
are not able to find that same library, just because each one is using  
a different FindMyLibrary.cmake.
