Hello, 

I would like to know if it's possible to pass a configuration file to CMake. 
I have to pass a lot of information to CMake and the resulting command line is 
very long to type. 
Would it be possible to create a file containing all needed definitions and 
pass it to CMake? 

For exemple, instead of typing 

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/there -D 
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/gcc/4.9.3/g++ 

would it be possible to create a file containing 

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/there 
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/gcc/4.9.3/g++ 

and pass it to CMake?
