My thought on CMake was that at least you'll have a visual checklist or what needs to be included and error list for what is missing, ie mysql lib, perl lib, etc etc.
at least how TC is set up, you select the source path, then point it to your mysql files (and for them openSSL, but for us would be perl and zlib) and generate.
it'll spit out what's missing if the user forgot to set something up.
i always thought that was an easier way to get things to compile than we've currently got implemented. especially since different compilers (ie versions of VS) get set up differently.
just my $0.02
Edit:
If i'm not mistaken, if new source is pulled and cmake is not run, when compiling VS will attemt to run CMake to generate the updated solution. At least 2010 does.
