That looks pretty cool, and its build-independent. 

With cget I used cmake to manage the configuration of the toolchain because
its quite mature. Spack creates its own system. It might be possible to create
mappers to map cmake's toolchain settings over to another build system, thus
cget could support other build systems as well. Although, this is very
similar to generators.

Also, Spack seems to be somewhat centralized. To get a third-party library the
user would need to create a package first, whereas cget will install the
package directly from the url with no intermediate step.
