Thanks.  Daniele, please also proceed with the merge to 'next':

 http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git/Develop#Merge_a_Topic_for_Testing

Sorry, I should have been more clear about how many of the steps
to follow before.  If you're prepared to check the dashboard for
errors and resolve them by extending the topic the next day then
it is usually safe to merge to 'next' for testing.  Anything that
goes in next can be revised, rewritten, or reverted before it is
later merged to master.

Clinton, can FindQt4 be refactored to use SelectLibraryConfigurations
now?

Thanks,
