One more thing which is global in cmake is targets.
Targets need unique names in a cmake project.

You can create a library in some subdirectory and link against it in other 
directories, not only subdirectories of that one.

To me, this sounds very useful.

And from my POV this alone makes it necessary to run cmake over the whole 
project after changing something somewhere, because you probably want to know 
which effects adding or removing or renaming or changing properties of a 
library in some subdir has for its uses in the project.

So, in your declarative buildsystem I will only be able to use libraries in 
subdirectories of where they were created ?
