[CMake] enable_languague (... OPTIONAL) broken?

[Marcel Loose]

Hi all,

I'm puzzled w.r.t. the behavior of enable_language(... OPTIONAL).
When trying to enable Fortran optionally on a system without a working 
Fortran compiler (/usr/bin/f95 is a dead symbolic link) I get:

CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER = /usr/bin/f95
CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_WORKS = TRUE

which is quite surprising IMHO. I would expect that 
CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_WORKS were set to FALSE, and 
CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to NOTFOUND.

I don't know what the last sentence "... has been enabled successfully." 
in the help text for enable_language really means in the context of 
enable_language(... OPTIONAL)?

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
