[CMake] CMake GUI suggestion - saving/restoring configurations

It would really be nice if the CMake GUI program could save and restore
configurations for whatever CMake setups the end-user uses. By this I
mean the ability to save the paths to the source code and where the
binaries should be built, as well as its corresponding cache
information, under a user-defined name; and subsequently restore that
information once the end-user chooses that user-defined name from a
drop-down list of those that have been saved.
This would enable as many configurations as the end-user uses CMake for
in an easily usable way using the CMake GUI program.
Another welcome improvement to the CMake GUI would be a drop-down list
or combobox whenever an item has a set of values to choose from, with
the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE being an example of such a field.
The CMake GUI is a great program for using CMake and I hope my
suggestions can make it better.
