Markus, Please discuss things on the CMake mailing list and wait (sometimes a few days are necessary for a discussion to evolve and resolve itself into a conclusion) until there is a consensus about a course of action among the people discussing it on the mailing list before you bring things up in the CMake bug tracker.
The bug tracker is meant to help us track what bugs are going to be fixed in the upcoming releases of CMake. It is not good as a general discussion mechanism because only a handful of CMake developers actually peruse the new issues in there. Whereas hundreds (and even thousands) of people read the CMake mailing list regularly. If there is a specific problem with CMake's actual functionality, then it belongs in the bug tracker as an issue. Thanks for your help to make CMake better, David Cole Kitware, Inc.
