[CMake] creating a CMakeUtils.cmake ?

[David Cole]

How about suggesting a naming convention for "standard" macros then, so 
that they don't have a name clash with other CMake modules like Find*, 
Check*, Test*...

Perhaps if the macro is named "LogToFile", the file could be named 
"LogToFileMacro.cmake"?

Only 2 cents, ;)
