That's right, they're in the PATHS list, however they are also in
PATH_SUFFIXES which I'm sure is not right because the include file's
always going to be under the include directory.

The documentation
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/find_path.html says it
only searches PATHS and doesn't append anything, but we can be sure
(it works!) that actually it tries each item in PATHS and each item in
PATHS suffixed with each item in PATH_SUFFIXES.
