From a simple grep in the cmake CVS sources I think that to add such an option first would require to have a unified place with the "CMakeLists.txt" string value because currently there are about 15 different places in code where the string is hardcoded, about 30 places where it appears in messages generated from the code and A LOT of code comments and cmake module comments where it's used (tho the comments can be left in place since they still make sense talking about a CMakeLists.txt file even if that is configurable).

All in all I don't think it's very hard to do it, would result in a better cmake code organization too (not having scattered "CMakeLists.txt" magic value all over the code).

It would also have to be propagated into the rules that re-run cmake when things change. I have yet
to see a good reason to do this.
