Thanks, Brad, for that information.  That's going to help a lot in the
language support transition between 2.6.x and 2.8.x.

The documentation in 2.8.1-RC3 currently says this about CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

  CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
       Path to look for cmake modules to load.

       Specifies a path to override the default search path for CMake
       modules.  For example include commands will look in this path first
       for modules to include.

Could you add a few words to make clear that CMAKE_MODULE_PATH is a list?
