By using the <lowercasePackageName>-config.cmake and <lowercasePackageName>-config-version.cmake naming schemes for the generated CMake config files, we make it possible for these config files to be found, irrespective of the capitalization used in the original find_package call. That is, find_package(NaMe) and find_package(name) will both find the same config file. This is already the case no case-insensitive filesystems (e.g. under Windows). However, on case-sensitive filesystems (e.g. most Linux setups) the used capitalization makes a difference. This can be a source of confusion and annoyance in cross-platform development. With this commit, this platform differences will vanish.
The config file will now detect wrong capitalization of the package name and emit a warning about it. Furthermore, it will try its best to subsequently use the package name in the capitalization as used in the respective find_package call. This should minimize the issues that can arise from wrong capitalization (such as mismatched capitalization in the resulting variables). Nonetheless, there are likely some issues remaining, which is why the warning requests fixing the capitalization of the package name.

Hey, thanks for the PR! I quickly looked at the individual commits and liked the changes so far. However I find the full PR diff hard to overlook. Do you think it would make sense to separate each commit into its own PR? I think that would make it easier to discuss and trace the individual changes. |

Some parts, maybe but other parts are inter-dependent so splitting would probably produce interdependent PRs. Besides, I don't know yet when I might have the time again to do the splitting. If you do the review commit by commit, things should be clearly separated though. I tried to make one commit per logical change group. Maybe that helps? |

This PR does a bit more than "merely" the components support. It improves upon some things that I have noticed along the way. "Unrelated" changes are strictly kept in separate, preceding commits though, so hopefully that's okay...
