Hence this mail :), and my mail to cmake.users about the "Kate Extra Generator" being the wrong interface/design. I'd like to see cmake generate all the info a UI would need in a simple and non-tied-to-a-particular-implementation way. That would be something Qt Creator and Kate could use as it would list the targets, the compile lines for objects, link targets, link lines etc. As far as I know, QtCreator uses the CodeBlocks generator because it contains all that relevant information as an xml file. It's almost possible to do that with a macro and file(GENERATE), but more genex API will be needed for that. I think it would be fine/better to do it in C++ implementation though anyway.
