I'm stalking the Ogre 3D engine for a CMake conversion.
http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29198

I know very little about their build culture as of yet.  It does seem 
like they need something better than they're doing.  Builds on 
non-Windows non-MSVC platforms are lagging, that sort of thing.  I don't 
know what cultural distance they are from embracing a cross-platform 
build tool though.  People hem and haw about SCons and some other 
things, but I don't see action / leadership occurring.

Ogre http://www.ogre3d.org is probably the leading open source 3D 
engine.  YMMV but its community is large and well organized.  It has 
been in development for 6 years and has a few commercial titles to its 
credit.  I've decided to go with Ogre for my game project because of its 
maturity, and because some people actually get paid for their Ogre 
skills.  If Ogre goes CMake it would be a big design win.


Cheers,
