Current behaviour: FLANN is the default search method for unorganized point clouds. If FLANN is not available, many PCL modules will not be built.
Desired new behaviour (work in progress):
Both FLANN and nanoflann are installed: use nanoflann as default search method for unorganized clouds (faster than FLANN)
Only FLANN is installed: use FLANN as default (same as before)
Only nanoflann is installed: use nanoflann as default (different than before, all PCL modules should be built, all classes should be available)
Neither FLANN nor nanoflann is installed: to discuss, maybe use PCL's octree as default search method for unorganized clouds?
