Summary:                    feature request: add FindRAGEL parser generator
module
Description: 
CMake already comes with support for parser-generators/compiler-compilers like
Flex and Bison (i.e. FindFLEX/FindBison).

But currently, it does not support the Ragel state machine
compiler/parser-generator (http://www.complang.org/ragel/ ).

A google search shows that there is a need for such support - there are various
projects using Ragel - and some projects which build with cmake reinvent the
wheel, i.e. they ship custom cmake targets for ragel compilation.

I've created a FindRAGEL module for my needs - it is based on the FindBISON
module distributed with cmake:

Besides the small examples included in the above repository you can also see how
the FindRAGEL module is used in another project - for multiple ragel files:

Please feel free to integrate the FindRAGEL module (or something to the same
effect) into the cmake distribution.
