I'm experimenting with that option now - autotools requires other steps to be run before producing a configure file, but it looks like the traditional way of stringing the commands together with && is working, as long as the OS in question lets me get away with it. I expected to have to do an IF(WIN32) ELSE conditionalization of the ExternalProject - after all, common build system logic between $WORLD and Windows is the primary reason I'm trying out CMake. The goal is to not require cygwin or msys - we can build BRL-CAD currently on Windows without them, but have to maintain an entire separate msvc build system to do so. I might be prepared (if it becomes do-or-die for a true cross platform build) to write CMake files for Tcl and Tk, but past experiences make me doubtful that they would interest the Tcl/Tk community.
