Summary

0014851: a fast eval

Description

It would be very nice if cmake had a native eval function which would take a string and execute it as cmake. using the clutch
create include file
write include file
include include file
delete include file

is very cumbersome

having eval would allow calling functions dynamically much easier.
ie
function(someUnknownName)
eval("someUnknownName(hello)")

another create addition would be allowing dynamic function calls
function(fu)
message(hello)
endfunction()
set(func fu)
${func}()

I thin the latter feature would however require an overhaul of the execution process.
