CMake's Killer App would be a build conversion evaluator
that gives hope to the project, and incrementally leads to a full
translation. That is the vision. Do you want to help with that or do
you want to leave me to figure it out?
If I had time to help, sure I
First of all I want to clarify some points:
I talk only about large scaled development projects and I don't know
anything about autoconf. What I had to do is to migrate a large project
composed of dozens of Visual Studio projects with no framework to hanlde
them and drive them. I decided to

I think large scale projects are the only ones worth going after.
Medium-to-small projects, like 100K LOC or less, don't need enough
Training and mastery is often perceived as taking too long though. I
think CMake would be a lot better off if it could say, Hey presto
here are some results! Enough to make people realize that their
conversion isn't hopeless and imponderable, that all they really have
to do is dive in and

A convertion tool to CMake is not doable for large projects, because
large projects need a framework to be viable. So migrating to CMake
implies making or migrating to a new framework. A conversion tool
could provide you with working CMakeLists.txt but you will lack a
framework around them.
