I think I can do something like that in a shell script

I don't mind doing the grunt work and testing, but I appreciate guidance to do this.
Thanks!

Darrell,
Believe it or not, it shouldn't be that hard. I just had to learn this a
couple hours ago trying to fix the libkscan library issue. Basically cmake has
a script mode that lets you play with sections of the cmake scripts and look
at what it is doing.
What you need to do is create a file <somefilename.cmake> and put the
syntax you want in there. Then run 'cmake -P somefilename.cmake' to make it
go. See:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/syntax.html
Use SET( varible_name " whatever in this string (supports \n, etc..)" )
Then you reference your varible_name by normal ${variable_name} syntax
Then just use the following to dump output to see how it's going:
MESSAGE(STATUS "stuff you want and ${variable_name}" )
You'll pick it up pretty quick :)
