Docs.. Lets talk about that for a second.
     The only place I found that command was if I did a 'cmake --help- 
html /tmp/cmake.html' and then searched through the html file. I  
actually found the macro by looking through the "modules"  
installation directory at the filenames. That got me thinking about a  
"better" way to do the CMake Docs. (They are decent, just not easily  
searchable).

1. The Totally Awesome way - Use all the new found knowledge of the  
QtAssistant system and integrate the CMake docs into a QtAssistant  
Module. Then there would be universal way to search/index the docs  
and easily find what we are looking for.

2. The slightly better than what we have now way - I can get ALL the  
commands in ONE html file or I can get individual commands as text  
files. How about a set of HTML docs where we have a main page with a  
frame with all the commands listed on one side and when you click on  
the command the docs shows in the other frame. This would at least  
allow one to peruse the list and maybe some up with something.

I think at this point I am going to generate the text files for each  
of the commands. Then OS X can use spotlight to index the files.  
Would be better if these commands were in HTML then I could basically  
write a quick shell script to generate the doc set.

And before anyone asks me to "step up to the plate", I would be more  
than happy to, just show me where in the code the HTML is being  
produced and I'll make the changes.
