Hi,
setting the compiler with the environment variable works fine. I used
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER because I thought it to be equivalent.
You are right that it is fixed in 2.6.3, I put down a remark on this in
my mail.
However, I was not able to find this in the Changelogs leading from
2.6.2 to 2.6.3, but I may have overlooked it. If this is the case, then
"Sorry!".

P.S.: cmake is a great tool!
