[CMake] PROJECT() type that doesn't require a compiler?

[Simon Edwards]

Hello,

Is there a PROJECT() type that doesn't require a compiler to be 
installed? Or should I say, it would be nice if there was a project type 
that doesn't require a compiler to be installed.

What I'm trying to do is use cmake for installing Python programs, 
namely KDE programs written in Python. The idea is that by using the 
same build/install system as the 'normal' C++ programs, I'll also be 
able to take advantage of the KDE's cmake support for things like 
building docbook docs, installing icons etc etc, and easily mixing C++ 
code with python code.

I've done some experiments here, and I've hacked up a small 'python' 
project type, plus some macros for declaring which files to install (and 
byte compile), and also support for converting Qt designer .ui files to 
.py files.

But it would be really nice if a kind of 'null' or bare bones project 
type could be added to cmake, with extra functionality being done using 
standard includes and macros.

cheers,
