Thanks.  I've applied it:

 GHS: removed hard coded flag and cleaned cmds
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=c2e650bf

and will squash it in before merging to 'master'.

I also extended the topic with slight documentation updates
and added release notes:

 GHS: Note that generator is experimental
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=44000501

 Help: Add notes for topic 'add-GreenHills-MULTI-generator'
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=a0477826

I added a note to the documentation that this generator is
experimental to leave us room to make breaking changes as it
matures.  This was done with the Ninja generator when it was
introduced, though fortunately in that case we didn't have to
break anything IIRC.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Currently the Tests/GhsMulti project in the test suite is very
minimal.  Please look at expanding it to cover more of the
generator implementation.  It needs add_custom_target and
add_custom_command, for example.  They could just run a
simple "${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P mycode.cmake" script to generate
a file or something.

Thanks,
