Thanks for this. My knowledge of cmake is pretty poor - I assume it uses the same definition of target as make. So you're saying I'd need to know the project's interesting targets first. My choices are: maintain a patch to the software's build system files or maintain a patch to encaspulate the software's build system files and drive with a config file. Right?
