Brad,

All these considerations are important but maybe we could just do
first the easy path which is: add a -f option which change the default
name every where, for all sub-directories, try_compile, etc...


Changing for try_compile is going to be a nightmare of sorts... There are modules like this:

CheckFortran.cmake: file(WRITE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeFiles/CheckFortran/CMakeLists.txt"

FindSDL_sound.cmake: FILE(WRITE ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeTmp/CMakeLists.txt

Basically, the concern is this will be hard to test and likely to break complex projects, and will end up being a half implemented feature.
