I guess the best thing to do would be to create a bug entry with a 
feature request.  Then attach the patch to the bug entry, and also offer 
to run a dashboard with that compiler.  I am not sure I understand 
exactly what you are asking for?   You should be able to set the 
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH for your project and have additional compilers 
supported via that method.
