It basically should do that already, it's just a question of sensible defaults 
which are somewhat lacking currently. Basically, pretty much all the variables 
should probably keep the ability to be manually set but should really get 
their defaults from elsewhere in CMake. I've got some local work on this but 
haven't turned it into a fully-fledged patch yet.

I'm vaguely hacking on the Bundle generator when I get the chance but it takes 
a while to get stuff committed so I'll keep just posting on the mailing list 
any patches I do and keep them local.
