Hey Matthew, that's interesting. I'm currently at a windows only machine so i can't check out ccmake but can only lookup the source. It appears that ALL parameters get "forwarded" to cmake - at least that's what
cmCursesMainForm.cxx:52 > this->CMakeInstance->SetArgs(this->Args); looks to me. Why do you think that a simple forward is not enough? ccmake seems to do it exactly that way?
