Thanks for working on this.

First I've extracted the comment typo fixes from the second patch:

 Fix some spelling errors in comments
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=bef23e81

I've attached a patch rebasing the rest of the changes on 'master'
after integration of the typo fixes.

To aid others for review, please provide a high-level explanation
of the MULTI IDE, its target platforms, and how developers might
use it with CMake.

Depending on the semantics, these may belong in
Modules/Platform/<os>.cmake for some <os> name of the target
platform.  We'll need a better understanding of their role to
say for sure though.  See CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT in Darwin*.cmake
for example.

Thanks,
