Just for sake of information when I need such feature
in an home-brewed MACRO I do use the
PARSE_ARGUMENTS macro defined here:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMakeMacroParseArguments

which relies on LIST_CONTAINS MACRO defined in
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMakeMacroListOperations

those "old" MACROs may be replaced by builtin LIST operation 
as shown at the end of the Wiki page.
