How CMake will solve the 'configuration' problem. Will CMake allow us
to build for, say, QNX, GreenHill, VxWorks, and the likes? I doubt!
Everyone is bragging about open source (me first), but the Qt market
is medical, automotive and avionics/space industry, isn't it? How will
CMake cope with that?
CMake is not even aware that they are other OS behind WIndows and
Linux Desktop....

Just Sayin'.
