Suggestion to make ccmake even more friendly

Hi, CMake devleopers,
I found ccmake a quite good approach to make the configure setup for
cmake more "compile newbie"-user friendly. Thank you for that!
Here are two suggestions to improve it even further:
* It recently happened that I came back to a screen session with
2 "windows" open where I had ccmake open in 2 different builddirs
(kdelibs and kdelibs4_snapshot). I could not remember which was
which, and couldn't discover any hint in the visible ccmake
ncurses window either.
--> It would be nice if ccmake would display either the current
directory, or the "module" it is called for. (There is some
space still underneath "CMake Version" in the lower pane :-)
* ccmake displays all "paths" starting with a leading slash (even
if they are meant as relative paths). This may be confusing.
Examples are: CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR and COVERAGE_COMMAND
--> it would be nice if there was a marker that distinguishes
absolute and relative paths.
Cheers,
Kurt
