Summary:                    Add an EVAL command to evaluate a string as a CMake
script
Description: 
Add an EVAL command that evaluates the string passed in as a CMake script,
within the same environment closure as the caller.

Similar to the INSTALL(SCRIPT), but run at CMake evaluation instead of install
time.


Motivation: I'd like to write a macro similar to:
#-- LIST_APPLY(src fn)
#-- Calls command in ${fn} against each item in src
MACRO(LIST_APPLY src fn)
  FOREACH(_i ${src})
    EVAL("${fn}(${_i}")
  ENDFOREACH()
ENDMACRO()

So I'm not constantly writing boilerplate foreach code
