No offense Brandon, but I would like to here from Martin about how he
plans to use this feature. I am not sure why you would want to have to
co-existing source trees. Also, I am not sure the same thing can't be
done with if and include. I am not saying that I won't apply the patch,
I just want to understand the requirement/use case before I do. I also
don't see people invoking cmakesetup with any flags, it is a gui
program. I would like to here from Martin on how he expects this to be
used from the GUI interfaces to CMake.
Thanks.
