Quite. The command-line interface of CMake is pretty horrible all round: the -DCAPITAL_LETTERS=FOO interface is very silly. That D is pure excise. Why the cmake authors thought that modelling the command line on a C preprocessor rather than on getopt_long() -- a far more common program invocation syntax -- is quite beyond me.
