Wow, I never knew about that option.

I think adding adding an ELSEIF extension should not be a high priority,
since the same thing can be accomplished with existing constructs, and it
looks pretty decent and avoids indenting if that is your goal:

SET(CMAKE_ALLOW_LOOSE_LOOP_CONSTRUCTS 1)

IF(COND1)
   block of statements
ELSE()
IF(COND2)
   block of statements
ELSE()
IF(COND3)
   block of statements
ENDIF()
ENDIF()
ENDIF()

(Sure there are a lot of ENDIFs, but I can live with that.)
