Yeah, I can't use this feature, because there's a lot of "monkey see,  
monkey do" at my work where the developers are not that familiar with  
CMake.  If someone copied my code or included it from another project  
it will just not work causing confusion.

If it was the default, then I could start using such a feature and  
just demand this script code be used in cmake >= 2.6 (I could even  
force this in scripts that include it by forcing a minimum cmake  
version).
