It sounds useful to me if it does nothing more than transform --prefix=foo and --disable-debug to the CMake equivalents. And I don't see a reason to force people to have to read CMake documentation when ./configure && make && make install works for 95% of the other software out there. Mind you if you're actually developing using CMake you'll still need to know what's going on, but that's not true of a lot of people who just want to grab stuff off of kde-apps.org or similar. ;) Regards, - Michael Pyne
