Turns out I'm not alone who spent considerable time fighting with CMake configuration issues. I ended up patching it to support a basic debug server protocol, so you could step through the CMakeLists.txt files in a debugger. In case anyone's interested, here's the CMake fork with debug support [0] and there's a detailed tutorial [1].

Have you talked to the CLion team about this, whether to integrate it into the product or make a plugin for it (if such a thing is possible)?

Given how CMake centric CLion is, and how abusively dumb the CMake DSL is, your project sounds like a great thing to teach CLion about.
