Nice job.
I'm not a CMake developper nevertheless
I volunteer to test your patch if you provide one.

Again I may help.
I may provide you my "hand-made" CDT projects files for
CMake enabled open-source projects
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/tsp/  (almost pure ANSI C)
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/certi (almost C++)

I personnally DON'T want to get stuck into eclipse.
I want to be able to build (the same build dir) from
Eclipse or from command line.

You were talking about "Unix Makefile" before?
I may easilly test Unix Makefile+Eclipse CDT on Linux but may
be more difficult on the Windows Platform.

I think this is indeed a good choice CMake IS a GENERATOR.
(see my previous message about Ant, Eclipse and CMake)

Good to read those thoughts :))
Good luck for the Eclipse Generator.
I'm no Eclipse expert but do not hesitate to ask questions about
this topic here I will try my best to help you.
