It works fine just exactly like in the original proposal you found in the
link above.  See, e.g.,
http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot/trunk/cmake/modules/drivers-finish.cmake?view=markup
for an example.

However, the ELSEIF feature is virtually undocumented at this moment, and I
hope this is fixed in 2.4.7.  The 2.4.6 documentation says essentially see
the IF statement, but ELSEIF is not mentioned in that documentation at all.
