Description
Currently, CompileCommand=option can handle only boolean parameters. We want to extend CompileCommand to handle numeric parameters as well.

Vladimir Kozlov suggests:

"May be add additional parameter 'type':

 option,Klass::method,type,flag,value

use the same type names as in globals.hpp. And you need to keep current format:

 option,Klass::method,flag

by check the name of flag and if it is type - use extended format."
