In the easiest case it's a simple add_custom_command() in CMake for every "make 
<target>" call.

This will remove all benefits CMake provides over simple make (platform 
abstraction, better dependency tracking, ...). For sure it's doable, but I'm 
not a big fan of kicking out CMake in favor of simple make.

So once again the question: What are the blockers (beside that someone has to 
do the work) for migrating the remaining build systems to CMake?
