+Finds the Timidity library.
+
+Result Variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This will define the following variables:
+
+`Timidity_FOUND``
+  True if the system has the Timidity library.
+``Timidity_INCLUDE_DIRS``
+  Include directories needed to use Timidity.
+``Timidity_LIBRARIES``
+  Libraries needed to link to Timidity.
+``Timidity_VERSION``
+  The version of the Timidity library which was found.
+
+Cache Variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following cache variables may also be set:
+
+``Timidity_INCLUDE_DIR``
+  The directory containing ``timidity.h``.
+``Timidity_LIBRARY``
+  The path to the Timidity library.
