Yes, I can arrange it into two different modes. I was seeing if I
could get it done in just one. I'm new to CMake so I wasn't aware
about //. It seams strange that both # and // would be comments in the
cache files, but only # is a comment in the cmake files.

But that being the case. I can't think of any other way of handling
this other than separating the modes.

I'll post the new mode file when I get it done. Other matters need my
attention right now.
