I think this has merit for finetuning the builds of SDL2, zlib, libc and libcxx, and supports what we discussed earlier about the ideal explicit SDL2/ports build infrastructure. However, I think native optimizer at least is in a different category, because building it depends on native compiler available on the system. We need to be able to drive builds potentially from Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013, Mingw-GCC, GCC and Clang. Given that CMake already offers all of that and more (incremental building, IDE integration and project dependency chaining), I think we should maintain a CMake path for that at least. I authored a CMakeLists.txt for that now in the pull request http://git.io/ZMqDkA . I hope it's not too much trouble to maintain CMake config file side by side with the python native optimizer build driver?
