Hi, I didn't mention it earlier, but I didn't pick CMake out of blue. I've got inspired by the projects the evolution core products depend on. Some time ago, I touched WebKitGTK+, which uses CMake. Very recently I helped to upstream libical-glib GNOME hosted project to libical upstream, which also uses CMake and as I spent some time learning it during the libical-glib work it was just a natural choice for me. I did not want to spend more time on learning yet another build system. No doubt, the CMake isn't perfect (I miss real post-install steps/commands there, like to recompile gsettings schemas and icon caches, for which I have workarounds there), but (otherwise) it works pretty fine for me.
