I think this has been done because the -devel package is noarch, though I'm not sure it should be. The packaging guidelines say that header only libraries should not be noarch, and the source rpm here isn't but the -devel subpackage isn't. I don't think that is how most header only libraries work - it's certainly not what I have normally done. The pkg-config files are actually found as it, and I think the cmake ones might be if there were moved down into the Modules directory? I'm no cmake expert though. No, the CMake files should be at `/usr/lib{64}/cmake/RapidJSONConfig.cmake`, the Modules directory is only for the Find*.cmake files. But these are no longer required if the library provides a *Config.cmake.
As this packages behaves differently than all the others I have encountered in Fedora, I think it needs to adjusted. But this is the only header-only library I have to deal with and I'm not a Fedora user but solely someone that wants his users (from Apache Arrow) to be able to compile easily on Fedora; so I don't have any deep knowledge of Fedora packaging.

CMake configs are normally expected to reside under `/usr/lib{64}/cmake/RapidJSONCondig.cmake` and pkg-config files in `/usr/lib{64}/pkgconfig`. In the package spec these files are incorrectly moved to `_datadir`, this requires using custom paths when searching for RapidJSON in fedora.
