# - Adds a compiler flag if it is supported by the compiler
#
# This function checks that the supplied compiler flag is supported and then
# adds it to the corresponding compiler flags
#
#  add_cxx_compiler_flag(<FLAG> [<VARIANT>])
#
# - Example
#
# include(AddCXXCompilerFlag)
# add_cxx_compiler_flag(-Wall)
# add_cxx_compiler_flag(-no-strict-aliasing RELEASE)
# Requires CMake 2.6+
