What I'm looking for: If cmake is used directly from the command line, it's possible to pass a bunch of options. This is nice because with this it's possible to use default settings - even if the cache get deleted.
ccmake accepts e.g. -D options to set CMake cache variables. It... does appear that cmake-gui does not. That seems like a bug (or at least a missing feature that one would naturally expect to exist).
I would like to see a feature which makes it possible to pass command line options to cmake-gui which get forwarded to cmake when it gets called. To make this work the cmake-gui could look for parameters which look like "forward-*" (where the * is a cmake option name) and pass it to cmake.
I'm not sure a "forward" option makes sense... what would it mean to "forward" e.g. -P or -E?
Rather, I think cmake-gui should just accept directly those options that make sense, e.g. -D, -U, -C, -G, -T and probably -W[no-]dev, the same way that ccmake does. (Besides, these should affect cmake-gui even before cmake is invoked, so merely forwarding them is actually insufficient.)
