[cmake-developers] [PATCH] command line shortcuts for cmake

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

attached you can find a patch which adds the ability to cmake to read 
project-defined translations, so that e.g. instead of 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/opt/foo simply --prefix=/opt/foo can be used.

In translationstest.tar.gz you can find a simple testcase, it translates 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to --prefix.
I.e. you can do "cmake <dir> --prefix=/opt/foo" and it will set the install 
prefix accordingly.

Translations are defined by creating a file named "CMakeArguments.txt" in 
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR. This file has to be in the CMakeCache.txt format. If this 
file exists it is parsed by CMake, and all arguments starting with "--" are 
looked up in this translation cache.

Comments ?

Bye
Alex
