I haven't tried it yet, but I've been wanting this feature; thanks for
the patch! Please see also
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14915 which it sounds like
this (partly) fixes; you may want to reference that in your patch or
vice versa.

(The "partly" is that the request is also for the 'install' target to
use the console pool; not sure if you did that, want to tackle that,
etc., but in any case this is a step in the right direction.)
