Seconded.

If you really insist on CMake, the RInside project has long had _contributed_
files in its inst/examples/*/ directories.

CMake is not that widely used within the R world which is why this never
became a priority here either.  It simply is hard to fully replace something
that works so reliably for everybody and is well enough understood, possible
warts and all.

I would just have CMake call R CMD [SHLIB/build/INSTALL/etc.) as an
external tool. R does a tremendous amount behind the scenes to configure
the build environment and you don't really want to try to replicate that. A
basic package need only place the cpp files within the "src/" directory and
they will be built automatically. More advanced scenarios can be covered
with a custom Makevars[.win] in the "src/" directory.
