Should I make that change and make a new patch ?<BR>
Or if you can put it into cvs it's also fine by me if you make that search / replace.<BR>

Is a short form single letter version of this command also available?<BR>
I would recommend -f as it's parallel with Make. I also think<BR>
--cmakelists-file-name is excessively verbose. --file would be<BR>
sufficient, although you could retain the longer name also. Here's<BR>
what Make does:<BR>
<BR>
-f FILE, --file=FILE, --makefile=FILE<BR>
Read FILE as a makefile.<BR>
<BR>
I think it's important to respect these nuances / niceties /<BR>
conventions for command line options. CMake is not a terribly command<BR>
line oriented tool, but there's a lot of command line oriented people<BR>
out there that we'd like to convert to CMake. So it would be good if<BR>
we give them the kinds of things they expect, to the degree that it's<BR>
easy for us to do so. I think in this case -f is quite easy.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
