[Cmake] CMake error output improvments

[Fabien Costantini]

That seems all good ;-)
Just make sure that the file/line err. number format match one standard 
that -for example-
will permit perfect integration in development environments like Emacs, VC6
It's just about how to dispose your error line file and line number info. so
it give you the ability to double-click directly on the error and the file 
is opened in your GUI ...

I didn't test but it may be already possible with the 1.6 beta.

Fabien.
