CMake is a Makefile-Generator an nothing else

As far as I know CMake does NOT understand Makefile it does **generates**
makefiles which is totally different story.
Again AFAIK CMake is never **reading** a Makefile.
I invite you to verify my feeling from the CMake source code.

Just as with foreign language, because of the semantic.
Usually I am able to say what I want in english without trouble.
But give me some litterature in english to translate back to my
native language and I'll get stuck after 2 pages or 2 lines depending
on the author.
