Okay. That sounds good to me. I don't recall what your patch is
exactly doing but could you still keep the vanilla Makefiles around?
This will reduce the diff of the patch, and we'd need anyway to keep
the former Makefile methods around until the buildfarm scripts are
updated, the animals do the switch and then get green. So a period
where both live in parallel is unavoidable.

I heard as well that MySQL is using cmake... It may be interesting to
see how they are integrating with it as a large project and avoid
their past mistakes.
