[CMake-Promote] Dart difficult to sell

I'm trying to land a job as a build engineer at a game company. They
use Perforce, as do many in the game industry. I'm trying to sell the
virtues of CMake and of course nightly build and test systems come up.
So, I go searching for info on whether Dart works with Perforce,
and...
...there's almost no mention in the Dart mailing list archives about
it. Last entry was from 2005, something about Dart2 being able to
configure the source repository via XML.
...the Dart webpage has several entries *seriously* out of date.
Like, "we might be doing something in 2001, stay tuned" kind of stuff.
This is BAD. I don't think I want to wave this under a hiring
manager's nose, I think he'll flee in terror.
...only way to obtain Dart is through CVS checkout. Not a
dealbreaker, but not a good sign. There should either be packages, or
a better explanation of why there can't be packages.
Now I will download the sources to see if RTFM will answer my Perforce question.
Cheers,
