Mike, first of all, thanks for your great efforts to help to improve
FLTK.  I can understand that your redesign of CMake could only be done
by rewriting huge parts of the code.  I'd like to have a look at it and
try it at least in my usual environments, but I'm currently blocked by
other work.  I noticed your submission, but didn't find any time to look
at it :-(

That's also the reason why I can't write any comments to your
observations in this message - just the lack of time - but they sound
reasonable.

Yes, please wait.  Or submit an additional patch that could be applied
after your previous one, so that we can try both together.

If I understood you correctly, your current update would work with
CMake 2.6, whilst the alternative would only work with 2.8.  Maybe it
would be better to stay with 2.6 then, because we should probably
support at least some older (Linux) distributions.  But I don't know
for sure...
