I did a general test of this series (except for the last RFC patch) by
building some cmake (target) packages (flann, gtest, taglib, cdrkit)
and host-cdrkit. The compilation was successful, I have not done
runtime checks.

For the fifth patch, I have explicitly tested the failure scenario
described by the bug submitter.

I think we should merge these patches in buildroot-2014.08, as it fixes a bug.

For the sixth RFC patch, I cannot make statements. I do not know
enough of cmake to comment on it.

Best regards,
Thomas
