I just noted in passing that "item" should be changed to "items" in the
following documentation paragraph for LIST

        REMOVE_AT and REMOVE_ITEM will remove item from the list.  The
        difference is that REMOVE_ITEM will remove the given items, while
        REMOVE_AT will remove the item at the given indices.

==>

        REMOVE_AT and REMOVE_ITEM will remove items from the list.  The
        difference is that REMOVE_ITEM will remove the given items, while
        REMOVE_AT will remove the items at the given indices.

With such terse phraseology (which is a good thing) the effect of such
plural/singular problems becomes magnified.  Thus, this fix makes the
meaning much clearer.

I hope some responsible CMake developer will immediately take about 10
seconds to make this documentation fix in CVS.
