No, because of its automatic dependency retrieval. Packages need to follow
an uniform convention.
Although it could in principle look into $DIR/cmake/ if it doesn't find
$DIR/CMakeLists.txt.
build/ is, however, totally nonstandard for CMakeLists.txt, so it wouldn't
make sense for a generic tool to look there. There are libraries that have
their CMakeLists.txt in cmake/, but I don't think that any have it in
build/, as this seems to be the build directory by CMake convention.
