[CMake] Retrieve all directories?

[David Cole]

Sorry for the very delayed response, but... the following CMake code
correctly identifies directories for me on Windows with CMake 2.4:
PROJECT(DetectDirectories)

FILE(GLOB fl "*")

FOREACH(f ${fl})
  IF(EXISTS "${f}/")
    MESSAGE(STATUS "  directory: '${f}'")
  ELSE(EXISTS "${f}/")
    MESSAGE(STATUS "       file: '${f}'")
  ENDIF(EXISTS "${f}/")
ENDFOREACH(f)

It exploits the fact that a directory will still pass the existence test if
you append a "/" to its filename, whereas a file will not...

I won't guarantee that this will always work with all cmakes on all
platforms, but you may find that it is a useful trick...

:-),
