[CMake] Re: Setting COMPILE_FLAGS does not appear to work

[Andrew MacDonald]

Ok, so I managed to ask two dumb questions in one day :P

I belatedly discovered that the flags in fact were being changed.
However, this brought up another question: does anyone know how to
force cmake/nmake to show you the actual flags used during
compilation? nmake /N just shows the cmake commands.
