I do not follow your point exactly. Do you see another way to achieve what 
John's would like to do ?

I'm not sure the "typical user" would use that feature, but the "people" 
here are developers, am I right ? I don't think they will forget to put in 
the CVS what could be contributed to the CVS :)

Although I'm not very fond of that solution, we could "hide" that feature ? 
We would remove this explicit call to INCLUDE(... OPTIONAL), and allow 
CMake to include *automatically* some kind of "magic file" (ex: 
LocalUserOptions.cmake) when it's found in the current processing 
directory. A bit dirty, though. But I've seen some similar stuff in other 
softwares.
