Ok, thanks.

I still recommend to name the system "Generic", and now that you gave your 
toolchain an id ("FreescaleCHC12"), the cmake files can be renamed 
Generic-FreescaleCHC12-C.cmake and Generic-FreescaleCHC12-CXX.cmake (the 
settings for C and C++ are separated if you have a compiler id).

This way it is easy for the user to find the file, naming conflicts are more 
or less impossible and all platform files for systems without OS will start 
with "Generic". 

More comments at the moment ?
