It's not a hyperbole it's fact and I even talked about it on conference. You should just compare all my cmake files with Makefile+.in+.m4 (and msvc folder) it was significant reduce code to maintain. Anyway all my intention in this field it's to reduce pain and reduce suppor time for build system. Curren state: cat `find ./ | grep '\.in\|\.m4\|Makefile\|\/msvc\/'` | wc 22942 76111 702163 cat `find ./ | grep 'CMakeLists\|\.cmake'` | wc 9160 16604 278061 and also, I use code style when a source file names every time on new line... it's serious increase numbers of line. If compare the same style as in Makefile it will be ~3000 (you can just compare words ;) ) Regards.
