[CMake] Writing a list variable to file

[Ian.Appru at ubs.com]

Hi,

Is there a recommended way of writing a variable containing a list to a
file - so that each ; sep item ends up on a different line?

I tried various solutions and the code below works but is extremely slow
~1min to write 700 lines!
>FOREACH(VAR ${ALL_VALS})
>	FILE(APPEND my-file.txt "${VAR}\r")
>ENDFOREACH(VAR)

I made a tweak to cmFileCommand.cxx so that the WRITE cmd looks for the
extra variable "LIST"
So
>WRITE(APPEND LIST my-file.txt ${ALL_VALS}) 

will output a list like 
aaa
bbb
ccc
rather than aaa;bbb;ccc

It takes a more acceptable 1/2 second to do so.

I would prefer to use the std cmake functionality than my homegrown
version - is there a method of doing this I've missed?

I'm using a cvs cmake version 2.3-20060222

Regards
Ian
