Hi Mark,

I don't like them either (along with the capitals), it's what made me
think about the toolchain file in the first place ;)

Attached is an attempt at creating the toolchain file. I'm not sure of
the best way to create it (there must be a better way than printf),
when to create it, or where to put it. The packages themselves seem to
include the file correctly.

This is against r1655, not the previous diff.

Hi Dan,

Could you review the attached patch and see if there's anything that
should/shouldn't be in the toolchain file? For some reason, it ignores
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX so I've left it in each package.

Cheers,

Tony
