It is:

#  -P <file>: Process script mode.

Process the given cmake file as a script written in the CMake
language. No configure or generate step is performed and the cache is
not modified. If variables are defined using -D, this must be done
before the -P argument.


But my question is *why* must -P be the last thing?  Is this a design
flaw, or is there some shell reason for it?
