And one more comment: a nice feature of the makefile generators is that they
don't only have one global "clean" target, but you can clean per-directory
(via make clean in a subdir), and even per target
(cmake -P CMakeFiles/foo.dir/cmake_clean.cmake).
Having these per-target clean scripts available would be really nice.
