[CMake] Bug fix requests for the *next* release of CMake...

[Todd Gamblin]

I'd like to see this one:

	CMake needs a BlueGene/P Platform File
	http://www.itk.org/Bug/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=10897

As well as the bootstrap patch that Brad King made for properly finding compiler pairs on, e.g., the Power6 frontends of our BG/P systems.  I'm not sure if there is a specific issue in Mantis for that one.

Ideally, each issue will be discussed as needed on the mailing list to come to any consensus about what should be done to fix it, and then an entry in the bug tracker may be used to keep it on the radar screen, and to track activity related to it.

Patches that include testing of any new features, or tests that prove a bug is really fixed on the dashboards, basically any patch with testing is preferred over a patch with no testing. Also, if you are *adding* code, then you also probably need to add *tests* of that code, so that the coverage percentage stays as is or rises.
