Mehdi,

These are two separate issues. The issue that Alex brought up is a
hard thing to do. That is, you are required to have the enviroment set
at cmake time, otherwise the generation will fail.

However, what you are asking is quite feasible and if you provide the
information I requested in my last e-mail I can implement it.

Thanks,
