   In my deliberately limited experience building software with CMake,   
   much of the trouble is that program developers are expected to   
   write detailed documentation for the build options they use, but   
   for the software I've compiled they simply haven't. You've got a   
   wall of options, and usually nothing short of reading source code   
   to decide what they do and which are important to you. Then it's   
   more awkward (than with a configure script) to reproduce those   
   settings if you want to compile a later version the same way.
