It supports cross compilation:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling

Also auto* has to be kept anyway as it will be very hard to support
all platforms supported by the auto* tools suite. However CMake brings
a kind of sanity in the various specific platforms or environments
without having to manage 100 formats, it can generate sln, nmake's
makefiles, xcode project files, etc. So everyone should be happy,
almost :)
