Changing for try_compile is going to be a nightmare of sorts...  There 
are modules like this:

CheckFortran.cmake:  file(WRITE 
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeFiles/CheckFortran/CMakeLists.txt"

FindSDL_sound.cmake:   FILE(WRITE 
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeTmp/CMakeLists.txt

Basically, the concern is this will be hard to test and likely to break 
complex projects, and will end up being a half implemented feature.
