[cmake-developers] [PATCH] User may now specify toolset through CMake GUI

[Robert Dailey]

Fair points, I will make the changes.

What is the recommended practice for updating patches on mailing
lists? With pull requests it's easy because it picks up my changes I
push to my branch automatically. I think if I push another patch to
the mailing list it will start another email thread, which may cause
lost context since this email chain won't be connected to the new one
(not sure if that matters).

Thanks Brad.
