The syntax of CMake was why KDE decided in 2004 not to use CMake and instead 
use Scons/Waf.

Worked out pretty well, right?

The maturity of the project matters  A LOT more than the syntax. Adding a 
wrapper configure script is easy but was never done.

PS: between the initial assessment and when KDE begun using CMake, CMake 
stopped requiring all-uppercase and stopped requiring repeating the conditions 
in the ENDIF() control words.
