[CMake] Using regex in find_program

There's a functionality that I'm missing in find_program(...). I must
find an executable that matches a regex expression.
What I'm trying to achieve is find the name of a cross-compiler. It
would be mingw32-gcc, i585-mingw32msvc-gcc, etc... so I would match
".*mingw32.*-gcc". Is there any other way to do this?
Is it possible to extend find_program to cope with regexes? In my
example, I would write:
find_program(PROG REGEX ".*mingw32.*-gcc")
The first matching program name (along with its path) would be returned.
If there's enough consensus that this should be implemented, I'm willing
to do this...
Regards,
rod
