[CMake] Unspecified arguments to CMake script

[David Cole]

It's possible, but it's probably not advisable.

The command line argument handling code in CMake is, shall we say, a smidge
on the fragile side.

It would be better to stream your arguments into a file, perhaps one arg
per line in a text file, and then use CMake's file reading capabilities to
process that file from within your script. And using -D to indicate the
filename to the CMake script...


HTH,
David
