Hi Daniel,

Well, what I said at the time I worked on it roughly was: "I can work on it until some events. After those events I will have very few time. So I hope people will take my work and continue".
You were right about the fact few people seem interested in CMake here. I think it's a pity since it could be useful on some points. But the fact is CMake scripts are broken now. It is with regret that I advise, as Gary, to keep the scripts out of here; it will asve you questions on the mailing list! But I think it's better to put them in a directory named "attic", "experimental", or something similar.

I just hope someone will have time to work on it... one day or another.
