[Cmake] Is there a way to easily add a new compiler without modifying Cmake source code?

[Bill Hoffman]

Most unix style compilers -c -o, etc.  should just work.
If the compiler has some special flags, you can create a file
in Modules/Platform/OS-compiler.cmake, that tells cmake how the
compiler works.   I can help you create the files, if you will
contribute them back to cmake.

To add support for a new IDE, it requires modifing the cmake c++
source, but command line compilers driven by make, should be
easy to configure.

What compilers are you interested in?
Here are the compilers we test each night:
