cmakesetup and ccmake would also need -f flags.  Command line users
and scripts could invoke -f flags just fine.  Shortcuts on Windows can
be made with -f flags in them if people want to present their builds
that way.

The same way it works now.  Generally, such files are a case of "CMake
invoking CMake."
