If there is going to be any sort of consolidation effort, it should
be to solely maintain a set of CMakefiles. The purpose of CMake is
to generate all those different varieties of makefiles, visual studio
project files, etc. from a single set of instructions.

Now, that won't be possible at the moment with all the limitations
of the existing CMake code.
