I see two options: If you can find some spare time, there is a command argument parser in CMake/Source/kwsys/, which is used e.g. by cpack, but not (yet) by cmake. Using this in cmake is the first step in getting better support for custom command line parameters. A patch would be very welcome. Currently I don't have the time. Second idea: maybe it would already help if the command line arguments to cmake would be available via a special cmake variable. Is there anything which speaks against this, Bill ?
