Ok, thanks for the input. But I'm not trying something magical or too 
difficult. I'm just setting up compiler parameters and trying to compile 
the least headers I can, based on compiler flags assigned to each 
source. And this is just one use case... what if someone happens to need 
some processing cmake cannot provide easily? Should we touch cmake's 
code? You know, I could program a windows application in assembly, but 
C++ makes it easier for me. When I code in cmake script, sometimes I 
feel like programming in assembly due to the lack of programming primitives.
