You're right, that property is being set in the CMakeList.txt file.

Given this, how should you make CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS available to the user for
modification in CMakeSetup.exe, without setting the value in CMakeLists.txt?
That is, I always want the user to be able to customize the compiler flags,
so I always want it to show up in the GUI (if only as an Advanced setting).
