Okay, I'll look over the .cmake files.

A couple more questions if you don't mind.

Is Cmake knowledgeable about, or is there built in support for, Mpi?

Can you setup Cmake to build and link mixed languages, with mixed  
toolchains?  For example, we need to build Fortran 77 and 90 with the  
Intel compiler, C and C++ with Gcc and link it all together into a  
single application with a C++ main (this is a key capability that we  
rely on with BBv2).  Is this pretty easy to do with Cmake?

Thanks.
