Branching the topic a bit.

cmake-gui should most likely be updated to take the same arguments that 
ccmake and cmake take.

However, if you are setting CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, the best place to do it 
is in the CMake code of your project.   That way your project will stand 
on its own and not require special command line options to build (which 
is bad IMO).
