[Cmake] Extracting values from files

[John Biddiscombe]

Stefan

Yes. I'd like to do it that way. Unfortunately, I have to import the =
values from someone else's format. I suspect I'll end up making a small =
exe which parses the project setup file and spits out a new file in =
cmake form, I can then make a dependency on the relevant files and add a =
custom rule. it ought to work, but it'd be much nicer to do it without =
leaving cmake - if you will.

thanks

JB
