[CMake] Writing a Code Warrior Generator

[Ken Martin]

We did try this once and as Bill said the challenge in the end was that IIRC
Code Warrior did not have an easy way to launch compiles from the command
line (as used by try_compile etc). I think folks were talking about using
some Apple Script to drive it or something like that to work around this but
it sounded a tad nasty.

No, I would start from scratch. However, I think we tried this once and 
gave up.   The IDE has to support command line builds and custom 
commands or it will not be powerful enough to pass all the CMake 
tests.   I seem to remember not being able to get it working.
