No FindVTK module in CMake

When I am trying to compile an open-source package which uses VTK, I get this error in CMake: 

 include could not find load file:
/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.3/Modules/FindVTK.cmake

I looked in the path mentioned and there is indeed no FindVTK module. I think I compiled VTK successfully on the same machine, but now I have my doubts.

Isn't the FindVTK.cmake module meant to ship with CMake?

Is this module meant to appear after compilation of VTk source code?

The CMake documentation is pretty clear on this

FindVTK This module no longer exists.

This module existed in versions of CMake prior to 3.1, but became only a thin wrapper around find_package(VTK NO_MODULE) to provide compatibility for projects using long-outdated conventions. Now find_package(VTK) will search for VTKConfig.cmake directly.

FindVTK.cmake was removed in CMake 3.1. It exists in versions prior to CMake 3.1.
