I am just trying to figure out what that "much more" is.  I think it 
would be ideal if C++ had less build options, not another one.  I of 
course would like to see CMake as that build system. I am offering to 
work with you to create something that will leverage what we have and 
what you want.  At the end of the day, qt would be able to "out source" 
the build system to the CMake community.  It would save developer time 
at Nokia and strengthen the entire C++ community.

But, back to the practical.   Is there a design document, or set of use 
cases that we can look it to see if CMake does fit what you are looking for?
