On a more general note, I think an option to enumerate choices for a 
cache variable would be a good thing for CMake.  Often it's not a simple 
yes/no answer and trusting the user to enter the right string can be 
dangerous.

A prime example of where this could be useful would be CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

Does anyone know if this feature been requested before?  I can't find a 
way to search through the Bug database by string.
