[odb-users] Using CMake for ODB (libraries forlder structre)

[Timo Rothenpieler]

See the provided example in that very repository.
You need to add the directory that contains the two .cmake files to your 
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

In case of the example:
list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/Modules")

There is no requirement for that path, it can be whatever you like.
For finding the library, it needs to be in

The module uses pkg-config to find odb itself. So if your pkg config 
path is properly set up, there is nothing special you need to do.
