Missing glfw3Config.cmake in Windows installer

The Windows binary installer from https://www.glfw.org/download.html doesn't include glfw3Config.cmake or glfw3-config.cmake, therefore you can't use this installer when you want to build a cmake-based project that uses glfw.

This is rather inconvenient, because building glfw from source also pulls in its dependencies, etc.

Can I ask that a cmake config file is added to the Windows installer, so I could simply use find_package(glfw3), possibly after setting the search paths so it can find the glfw3 installed directory?
