You misunderstood! There were two suggestions: the configuration file
and the parsing  in "do nothing" mode which would
only analyse which OPTION variables are currently
enabled. The latter boils down to merely reading all the CMakeLists.txt
files of the project and the current CMakeCache.txt, 
and I am rather sure your koffice project is not that 
big that reading all the CMakeLists.txt files could not be done 
even with an shell script in a few seconds only!
