Much needed, especially updating the list of commands and operators, thanks!

However, I'm missing having variables highlighted in a different colour, 
especially when they appear in strings. Also, do you know if it's possible to 
make command and operator highlighting context-sensitive? For example, in 
add_command(COMMAND foo), COMMAND is highlighted because it is in the list of 
operators, and I've got a command that takes a LINK_LIBRARIES keyword 
argument, which is highlighted as a deprecated command.
