[CMake] Eclipse/CMake build configurations

Hi,

why does the Eclipse project generated by cmake not have any cdt build
configurations? I.e. it is missing the "C/C++ Build" tab in the project
properties.

I'm asking because if it had build configurations that might make it
possible to do the following:
- Create a project in eclipse
- Create a project with the cmake CDT generator
- Import the build configuration from CDT generated project into the manual
created one

Such an approach might combine the best of option 1 and 2 as they are
listed at http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial. It wouldn't
have any problem with source control. It might allow to add several build
configurations two one project. And it could get the correct file/build
properties (e.g. for the indexer) directly from cmake and wouldn't need to
rely on the discovery (e.g. it wouldn't require the make VERBOSE trick).

Has someone looked into this? Would this be something which could be done?
How many changes would be required in cmake/CDT?

Roland
