Understood, and what you have chosen to do appears to be a most interesting
exercise.  However, according to http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ, the
book corresponds to CMake 2.2.3 so I would check everything there with the
documentation you get with cmake --help-full and other on-line resources.
There is also some assurances in the FAQ that the book is mostly up to date.
However, I personally prefer learning CMake from other more modern sources
because 2.2.3 was released quite a while ago, and CMake has improved
considerably since. IIRC, there was an announcement on this list within the
last several months of work on a new 2.4.x version of the book, but I don't
know how close to publication it is.
