I moved cmaked2 to github [1], updated and simplified the usage
a
little (system cmake patch not necessary anymore). You can give
it a try. Dub registry support is also on the way.

Heh, seems I waited a bit too long, eh? I've been gearing up to
do an initial release of some modifications to CMake that give
better D support. (To clarify: this isn't being merged upstream
yet, but hopefully that'll happen eventually)
While the approach taken by CMakeD2 and cmake-d gets a good
amount of the way there, it lacks key CMake features. Namely:
Visual Studio support, which unfortunately requires patching the
C++ source.
The module-only approach also cannot support LDC (save via ldmd,
which is not ideal), as CMake will think it is a linker. There
were other problems I encountered that required changes to the
C++ code as well, though I don't recall what they were off the
top of my head.
I'm curious to see how you intend to do dub support, though.
