Hi, Why not having it configurable in a file so new mapping can be added without recompiling. It's much easier and shorter to remember ./configure --prefix=/usr instead of cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr or ./configure --verbose instead of cmake -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE Millions of people have already used configure and giving up habits is very difficult. As a developer, I prefer Cmake but a user a prefer the configure cli.
