Reading the Lua docs, it seems one uses a table instead of a list.
There's a shorthand for calling a function that has 1 table as its
argument: f{whatever} instead of f({whatever}).  So I think the above
could have been:

cm_add_library{"simpleLib", "STATIC", "simpleLib.cxx", "simpleCLib.c",
"simpleWe.cpp"}

and of course the function would have to handle the table
appropriately.  Now I'll see if we can get rid of all those pointless
quotes.
