Hi Kyle, I’ve never contributed to CMake before. I once wanted to enchance the makefile generators with batch-mode support and built CMake myself and walked through the code in debug mode to see what it does. I identified the entry point where I should’ve placed my code, but essential it would’ve require a major rewrite of the makefile generators to enable deferred makefile generation. Daunted by the amount of work, I figured it was not worth the effort. (It was primarily motivated by NMake.)
I’ll try giving the file API a spin and see if I understand the code enough to be able to add new queries and extract tests from the internal representation. I was hoping to not have to touch CMake itself for this summer project, but it seems that’s the first step.

Is this something you'd be willing to help with? Kyle
