[CMake] Two suggestions...

I have been using cmake and am very happy with it use for cross platform 
building. 

Some suggestions on improvements - didn't think these qualified as bugs, 
so here's the email!

1. For ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND, the comment is annoyingly enclosed between
"Building (comment here) target_name..."
It is difficult to construct a sentence that makes sense on the build 
output. In this case
I have only tested the NMake generator. 

2. It would perhaps be useful to have an area on the Cmake site for user 
scripts. 
Something like http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/index.php where users can 
contribute scripts that might be useful to others. It'd save tons of time to 
get
common functionality that might not be provided by Cmake or enclosed modules
themselves. 

Thanks for a wonderful tool.
