I have just committed (revision 10153) the hard-landing solution because
there is no way I wanted to have both ccmake and cmake-gui provide broken
language results such as found by Hazen and confirmed in detail by me.

However, immediately after I did that commit, the CMake gurus on the CMake
list came up with a temporary workaround for bug
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9220.  The workaround should
provide a soft landing for both the missing and broken compiler cases which
I think will work quite well.  However, the implementation of this idea (to
run a simple cmake configuration from within cmake to check on each compiler
in question) is non-trivial so it will take me a while to finish with this
issue.

So more later.
