[cmake-developers] C# support?

[Stuermer, Michael SP/HZA-ZSEP]

Sounds reasonable,

my choice was motivated by the file extension of the C# source files (.cs) and that it is shorter. But as Fortran seems to use the longer “Fortran” description it might be a good idea to switch to “CSharp” as well …

About the language:

Would it be ok to name the language in CMake "CS" instead of "CSharp"? I did everything as "CS" so far...

If I may provide an outsider's comment on this point, I would suggest against this. For me, "CS" does not intuitively associate with C# - I wouldn't know it means C# unless I read it somewhere stated explicitly. "C", "CXX", "Fortran" are all obvious to me, "CS" is not.

Then again, I have never used C#, so it might just be general unfamiliarity on my part, in which case feel free to ignore this post.
