I agree.  The lack of variable scoping is currently my biggest annoyance with 
custom macros.  Additionally, I believe that custom macros are pretty much 
required for any mid to large scale project.  Life in the CMake scripting 
language would be so much nicer if we could scope variables at the macro 
and/or file level.
