FYI bakefile has very different features from cmake. And honestly I did choose to use it instead of cmake and instead of e.g. scons, even if I was well-aware of these alternatives, exactly because of that different features. It's not just a duplication of already existent work. It adds many new concepts and features to the build tool area which I've never seen anywhere else (but I admit I'm a bit ignorant on scons/premake side). And that's what OSS all about after all: competition and creation of new projects in general, stimulates the diffusion, creation and ehancements of new ideas and innovation.
