Because nobody, including you nor me nor anyone else wondering the same
thing, has submitted a patch to the CMake development team.

Like was discussed even in their own mailing list, it should be a
function call, not "variables".

After the patch is submitted, we can wait 6 months and finally begin to
use it.  I have been wishing for this for 3 years, including from within
another project that uses CMake.  In general, they should have no
hesitation in embracing these kind of enhancements, since this *kind* of
functionality in general, is why folks use CMake anyway.  Any thing that
keeps a windows user from having to install Cygwin, just to run a shell
script, is golden.
