CMake has been added for libgeotiff long time go, but it may need refreshing: http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/ticket/17 CMake for GEOS has been added too, it seems it's getting some more attention now (thanks to Regina who is switching form GNU autotools). There is also a prototype of CMake for PostGIS (incomplete though): https://github.com/mloskot/postgis/tree/cmake-build Some time ago, there was attempt to bring CMake for GDAL: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/CMake Adding PROJ.4 should be easy. Experiences show, that unless a project core team is willing to switch to a new build system, then it is very difficult to keep the additional build configuration maintained. And, without continuous maintenance, such new build will unlikely cross the chasm.
