Someone asked me the other day why CMake doesn't do this. I thought I gave him a reasonable answer, that it would be painful to do, and that CMake --> native is a much easier problem than native --> CMake. But I said I would ask here for other people's opinions on it. I have experience converting a large Autoconf + GMake project to CMake. At the time I used piles upon piles of regular expressions. I can think of more sophisticated ways to do the parsing and translation. But no matter what technology is chosen, it's a lot of work. I'm sure the same would be true for MSVC, plus MSVC changes its format every few years. Does MSVC pose any other special difficulties, other than sheer mind-numbingness of translation?
