The problem is that the number of options wouldn't be static because the number 
of files that will be optional will change over time.  Which is why I was 
wondering if there was a way to have CMake prompt while it runs.  I'd rather 
avoid having an external script searching for the optional files when CMake 
would already be doing that.
