Summary:                    Add native CUDA compiler support
Description: 
Hi,

CMake includes a FindCUDA module since version 2.8, which adds support for
compilation of CUDA source files by means of custom commands such as
CUDA_ADD_EXECUTABLE and CUDA_ADD_LIBRARY.

It would be nice to support the CUDA language (although not standardized
compared to C or C++) as a first class citizen in CMake. For this purpose, I
have been maintaining since a while a patch to CMake which adds native CUDA
support. This allows users to compile CUDA source files by simply adding
enable_language(CUDA) to CMakeLists.txt. CUDA source files may be included in
standard CMake targets, e.g. add_executable and add_library. Besides .o targets,
CMake generates .s targets that  compile a source to CUDA PTX (intermediate
virtual machine code). The patch also includes a _minimal_ FindCUDA.cmake, which
searches for the CUDA driver (cuda) and CUDA runtime (cudart) libraries.

Do you see a chance to merge the two efforts in upstream CMake?

(The patch's repository is at http://git.colberg.org/cmake-cuda.git/.)

Cheers,
Peter
