Summary0004194: support configure compatible command line flags
DescriptionAfter a long discussion in may/june 2006
that took place on the cmake mailing list
under the topic
 [CMake] Re: a ./configure shell script stub
we somehow concluded that the end user
interface would be improved if cmake would support a limited number of addtional
command line switches that would allow a
simplified control of the
configuration. The extension of the command line interface options and there mapping to internal cmake variables are

--prefix=PP -> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=PP
--verbose -> -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON
--build=bt -> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=bt

Note: --build from autoconf is not the same as CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:

./configure --help
Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help display this help and exit
      --help=short display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages
  -V, --version display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
      --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
  -n, --no-create do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

...

System types:
  --build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
  --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
  --target=TARGET configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]
