The amount of constants for paths and other values we are passing via ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DFOO=bar) in our build system files is increasing. This is not the correct approach -- a cleaner way of passing values from the build system to source files is by using #cmakedefine, #cmakedefine01 or #define and have CMake replace the desired values via CONFIGURE_FILE(). We need to extend cmakeconfig.h.cmake and have it perhaps #include a port-specific config.h file which should be responsible for having these definitions.
