[CMake] List of Commands/Constants/Keywords

[Mike Jackson]

cmake --help-commands doesn't list anything: Here is the output:
[_Mike]$ cmake --help-commands
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/welsh/For_Mike/--help-commands"
does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

I did take a look at the vim spec and that got me started. Most of the
commands are now highlighted properly.

The list of CMAKE_* would be helpful to list in the language definition so
that those constants show up differently and I am working on that part.

I was hoping that there was someway to either run a command or grep the
cmake sources and get a definitive list of commands.

Same thing for a list of CMAKE_* constants.. And any other constants that
Cmake defines.

Thanks
Mike Jackson
