Summary:                    namespace support
Description: 
Several commands have the directory as scope,
for instance add_definitions:

add_definitions(-DX)
add_library(X x.cpp)
add_library(antiX antiX.cpp)

When antiX.cpp doesn't compile with the definition X set 
then it is not possible to write such a cmake file.

Support of namespace could fix this:

namespace(x)
  add_definitions(-DX)
  add_library(X x.cpp)
endnamespace()
add_library/antiX antiX.cpp)


Attached a patch which adds this feature.

The only critical part is the usage of the new 
member variables current*, otherwise not using
namespace() is 100% backward compatible when no
variable with that name is used.
