I'll add for example when it is processing languages,
CMakeCInformation.cmake (and the CXX version)
which that script assumes that it will be managing not only the
compiler, but linker and libarian

Why this way? Because in this case, there is ZERO need to do all of the
"./configure" type testing
and determination because at the end of the day, CMake will not be
executing the compiler period.
The IDE will do all of that work. 

This type of change is non trivial, and I'm wondering if it is the right
approach or not.
