[Trilinos-Users] CMake-GUI <CONFIG>_POSTFIX variable

[Tommy Binford]

Just a poke.  I really would like to know if this is possible.  If it
is, then I'm
doing something wrong.  I'd like to know what that is.

If my question is not clear, then please let me know.  I'll try to do a better
job of asking.
