I agree with Greg here. In fact even if it was well done, it is
declaring something that wasn't really a problem, to be a problem, to
insert itself as the solution, but I think it's just extra stuff and
steps that ultimately obfuscates and creates yet more dependencies.
Self-serving complexity.
That's not
to diminish the real help of things like autotools and CMake,
Oh, that strikes a
nerve.
CMake is the very antithesis of a good tool. It doesn't help. I think
it is perhaps the worst abomination EVER in the world of software tools,
and especially amongst software construction tools.
