I just checked in a change for feature request #6191,  you can now (in CVS
CMake) use parentheses in if and while command conditionals. E.g.

if (2 GREATER 1 AND (4 LESS 3 OR 5 LESS 6) AND NOT (7 GREATER 8))
   message("")
endif()

evaluation of parenthetical groups has the highest order of precedence. If
you bump into any problems with this let me know.

Thanks
Ken
