Summary:                    allow the option() command to use other binary
values than ON/OFF
Description: 
Hi.

Currently the option command allows only ON and OFF and the CMake UIs then
switch between those two.

Please allow the other boolean literals (e.g. TRUE/FALSE, 0/1, YES/NO to be
specified.
If they are used, the UIs should obviously also switch between them and not
ON/OFF.

The rationale is that for some options(names) e.g. YES/NO fits much better.
Consider you have LIBFOO_ENABLED.... you wouln't say ON/OFF but rather YES/NO or
TRUE/FALSE.


Cheers,
Chris.
