And the KDE people I currently work with expressed very clearly that
cmake is what works best for KDE _and_ for any non-trivial project for
that matter (small stuff should go with qmake). The reasoning was mainly

cmake quick and reliable, i.e. an argument that might carry some weight
for us as long as our needs are not covered.
