That sounds interesting indeed -- and from a bootstrapping point of view with gmake being plain C and thus very portable, it should be available on pretty much any platform (or at least on any CMake platform as CMake has higher requirements being C++). > Right now CMake supports generic make.

If you do, please have a look at the stuff we are currently doing with GNU make -- you will see that it might be possible to keep a lot of the abstractions made by CMake visible in the generated files, if one uses a small generic "runtime library" in GNU make.
