By "xsd" I assume you mean "xsd schema file", right?

One alternative to having to have schema files around for validation
is to pre-compile them and embed the resulting binary representation
into the application executable. See the 'embedded' example in the 
XSD 3.3.0 distribution for more information.

Thanks. I have added your .cmake file to the "Using XSD with CMake" Wiki
page. BTW, there is already FindXSD.cmake by Brad Howes on this page
which you may want to check out for ideas.
