If I've understood you I think the solution to a super-set of your problem is already under discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/3615 Thanks, Steve. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
