Although you have a point by saying that cmake should not run during the
build, the above construction allows it to generate the correct projects
without needing cmake during build. The function add_custom_command
would call 'call_command' during project creation (not build time) and
setup the process call and its return value processing.
So, how would the above work? The custom command would have to run
call_command at build time. That means Xcode, VS, and make would all
have to run call_command. I would think that would have to be done by
running a script. Unless you want to translate the lua function into
make, Xcode, VS, etc. Again, I think this is more of a feature request,
that moving to lua would have no impact on. You want to put cmake/lua
code into a custom command and have it run during the build.
