I prefer a palette file approach rather than hard-coded approach. See my previous post on this (which crossed with your latest post) where I give more details of how I hope this evolves. With regard to your cmake question, I think #define (rather than cmakedefine) in config.h.cmake is the way to go. See the first part of that file for how #defines are configured corresponding to various CMake variables. In these cmap[01] cases, the variables would be strings that are specified as CMake options with default values of cmap[01]_default.pal (i.e., used if the user does not specify those options).
