CMakeMacroFilterOut

   MACRO(FILTER_OUT FILTERS INPUTS OUTPUT)

   # Mimicks Gnu Make's $(filter-out) which removes elements 
   # from a list that match the pattern.
   # Arguments:
   #  FILTERS - list of patterns that need to be removed
   #  INPUTS  - list of inputs that will be worked on
   #  OUTPUT  - the filtered list to be returned
   # 
   # Example: 
   #  SET(MYLIST this that and the other)
   #  SET(FILTS this that)
   #
   #  FILTER_OUT("${FILTS}" "${MYLIST}" OUT)
   #  MESSAGE("OUTPUT = ${OUT}")
   #
   # The output - 
   #   OUTPUT = and;the;other
   #
