The output parsing can be a bit simpler if you use the CMAKE_MATCH_1

Hi Brad:
I was just looking over that documentation (obtained with
--help--full for CMake-2.8.9) when I spotted this
line which seemed to be problematic to me
- Matches any character in range on either side of a dash
I assume this is meant to refer to regex bracket expressions such as
"[0-9]". If so, some reference to square brackets should be included
so that regex newbies don't attempt to treat the "-" character like
the "+" character which can appear outside square brackets. Here is
one alternative to the above that addresses that issue:
- Matches any character in range on either side of a dash
within square brackets, e.g.,
[abcx-z] matches "a", "b", "c", "x", "y", or "z", as does [a-cx-z]
(I took that example from the Wikipedia article on regular expressions).
But I am sure (from past experience) you will figure out something
shorter that still gets the idea across that - can only appear within
brackets.
