Anyways, I noticed you've added a WPILibConfig.cmake file to the wpilib project. Why did you decide to move away from the find module. AFAIK, the find module is the "accepted/correct" way to go about it.
Two reasons:

1. laziness
2. it's a lot easier to do version checking with Config files, and some programmers might want to codify a dependency on a particular release of WPILib in the build system.
