[CMake] message() text shows up as RED in cmake-gui

[Michael Jackson]

Would it be possible to do what compilers do: prepend status lines  
with "STATUS", warning with "WARNING" and error with "ERROR". That  
makes it easier to grep if needed and may help pull attention to each  
type of output.

  Just thinking out loud...
