Laurent, he didn't ask for enable-final, but enable-debug ;-)

So, start ccmake and set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "debug" or use 
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug

Check out FindKDE4Internal.cmake to see what this does. Currently all it does 
is to set the compiler flags to "-O0 -g" (look for CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG).
If these are not sufficent/appropriate/otherwise unsatisfying, let me know.

When using ccmake, you will see a bunch of option "WITH_FOO". Set them to 
FALSE or OFF or 0 to disable the feature (or use -DWITH_FOO=OFF)

What's the difference to above ?

To see short compiler output, remove the "set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)" in 
the toplevel CMakeLists.txt.
For colored output, maybe use color-gcc or what it's called.
For percentage, well, that's currently not available.

In theory it should be possible to implement an unsermake generator for cmake, 
but I don't think we should put effort into this now.
Maybe later, once we have everything setup corretly to work without problems 
with cmake.

Bye
