[Alan W. Irwin]

Here is an improved CMakeLists.txt file which shows all the issues
simultaneously without having to re-edit the file.

*********

I have been concentrating fairly exclusively on issues I have been noticing
during my 2.6 tests, but in response to your question I ran the above
CMakeLists.txt for 2.4.8, and it turns out 2.4.8 has the same LIST issues.
