   So people who use CUDA have to drop an empty file in that strange system location? Doesn't sound like a good solution to the problem.

   Since cusp and thrust are never used with the regular compilers shouldn't they be tested with the compiler that actually uses them, nvcc? Thus you just need to add a new language CUDA to BuildSystem, which it needs anyways and test with that.
