Looks good!  BTW, this block:

+if(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "HP"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "Intel"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "SunPro"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "XL")
...
+endif(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "HP"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "Intel"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "SunPro"
+   OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "XL")

is more easily written

if("${CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID}" MATCHES "^(GNU|HP|Intel|SunPro|XL)$")
...
endif()
