[CMake] No-op command?

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Philip.

You don't need one. This is a perfectly valid piece of CMake code:

if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Windows")
else()
  ... do something ...
endif()

Of course, the comment can be put in there, but you don't need any commands
between an if() and else() (or between any other pair of start-end style
commands, for that matter).
