Hi David:

Your idea sounds like a good one, but can you recommend an easily understood

project that follows this approach that would serve as a good template
for build-system developers to use when implementing this approach for
their own projects?
CMake might need more modules. However, each one needs to come with a module maintainer. I agree that in a perfect world all projects would have cmake config files. But, we can not force all projects to move to cmake, and new important projects will be created that do not have direct CMake support in them. They will need new CMake modules. I would rather see direct additions to CMake than a separate module repo.
