[CMake] execute a script before and after configuration

[Dominik Szczerba]

Hmmm I managed to force it by

cmake -DCMAKE_COMMAND=/users/dsz/bin/mycmake

and it indeed appears now in the cache file, but it does not seem to
unload/reload the modules, so I guess it is not used instead of
cmake... else how can I check if it is invoked?

Thanks a lot
