Yay. I tried a couple pokes at this, too. I saw those dotCZ pages. I
wondered if they would work. :)

I know you say you've put together what you need, but what about
Github for later? Yes, I do know Github has its fans and detractors:
Am mentioning it because Github was almost the only thing I found that
*sounded like* it might be what was needed:

https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem/blob/devel/cmake/Modules/FindFETI4I.cmake

If that doesn't work, the front page is here:

https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem/

That first one was a search that was very strange. It seemed to pick
out single letters and numbers to match those, not the whole word
only. It's surely by design. :)
