Is a short form single letter version of this command also available?
I would recommend -f as it's parallel with Make. I also think
--cmakelists-file-name is excessively verbose. --file would be
sufficient, although you could retain the longer name also. Here's
what Make does:
-f FILE, --file=FILE, --makefile=FILE
Read FILE as a makefile.
I think it's important to respect these nuances / niceties /
conventions for command line options. CMake is not a terribly command
line oriented tool, but there's a lot of command line oriented people
out there that we'd like to convert to CMake. So it would be good if
we give them the kinds of things they expect, to the degree that it's
easy for us to do so. I think in this case -f is quite easy.
