I sort of don't see this as being CMake's problem. Suppose your computer has 4 cores. Do you mean you would like CMake to detect that there are 4 cores and to change the Makefile automatically? Someone showed this with two Makefiles [1] -- it's an interesting solution if you want to try to make the same pair of Makefiles with CMake. (I have no idea how, but I guess it's possible?) I don't know what is the Windows equivalent, but on Linux, I've aliased "make" to "make -j 4". So, what you describe about "solution files" generated by CMake that get overwritten isn't really an issue. Or maybe I've completely misunderstood you? Do you want CMake to detect the number of threads and then to pass that to (a) the program that would be generated [i.e., for its execution] or (b) the compilation of such a program? I've assumed you meant (b)...
