Okay, I've fixed the change to cmake::PrintMessagePreamble, so that 
it'll stop warning or error dev or deprecated messages getting printed 
out when the relevant CMake variables have been set. I just need to add 
some more test cases to cover this and I'll submit a patch.

Yes the -Werr-dev, -Wno-err-dev, -Werr-deprectated and 
-Wno-err-deprecated may be trickier than expected to get behaving as 
intended. I'll try and get a better idea of the users of IssueMessage 
and see if some ideas come to mind. Removing them would be fair enough 
at this point, better to not include them than to include broken 
functionality I'm sure. Do new features, such as -Werr-dev, have to be 
sent by October 1st is it?

Cheers,
Michael
