This is awesome! Instead of getting all mixed up in the discussion about which of the existing build-systems is best, and instead of trying to figure out how to work around all of the (mostly arbitrary from user perspective) restrictions, it is a very rational and pragmatic choice to just get it done and make it do what you want.

Let me be honest, the last step of doing all myself was quite a time sink over the last 3 weeks. But in the end I've learned something that will be of use in the future. I don't think this applies equally to the time I've put in off-the-shelf systems.

I completely agree! All the hours (more like days/weeks) I already spent trying to make CMake do what I want... It only strengthens my dependency on CMake in the end :-/
