Rats, I thought I had three months before you brought up translators 
again....

This is a very good point (old versions of CMake).  I am sure there are 
other issues we are missing.  Uses and mis-uses of CMake.  However, 
arguing about a hypothetical translator is a waste of time.   The amount 
of code in cmake that supports the current language is small, and I see 
no reason to keep it, even if there is another language. So, I am asking 
nicely please stop this thread on translators.
