Make sure you put the arguments before theh -P ${my_cmake_script} or the arguments won't get passed in.

Ah, so *that's* what I was doing wrong. Sigh. It would be really nice if 'man cmake' documented that (in fact, if it just plain documented that yes, you /can/ pass defines into a -P script).

Maybe like this?

SYNOPSIS
  cmake [options] <path-to-source>
  cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>
  cmake [options] -P <file>
  cmake -E [command]

-P <file>
  Process script mode.

Process the given cmake file as a script written in the CMake language. No configure or generate step is performed and the cache is not modified. Arguments may be passed to the script as CMake variables by using -D. -P should be the last option on the command line.

Better yet, fix this restriction in 2.6.0? I wanted to do something like:

set(FOO_SCRIPT foo.cmake)
set(FOO ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P ${FOO_SCRIPT})

add_custom_command(OUTPUT moo
                   DEPENDS cow ${FOO_SCRIPT}
                   COMMAND ${FOO} -Dhay=straw
                  )

...but alas, it is not possible.
