Frankly, I'm ready to just dive in and add the support to the Visual 
Studio project generators, mirroring much of the C++ support.  I'd 
actually only do the Visual Studio 2005 MSBuild support and MAYBE 
VS2003, but it would lay the basis for other ports.  I haven't run into 
the "does it handle C#" issue yet, but I know I'm going to.  I like 
CMake too much to have to throw it out for that reason.

My only concern is maintaining a fork to do this.  I already have a 
forked CMake with various fixes to the Visual Studio and Xcode support.  
Despite increasing usability in these environments, the interest level 
in my patches thus far seems virtually non-existent.  I also have CMake 
in another source control system, so I can actually commit my changes.  
While I'm very much a centralized source control repository guy (all I 
use day to day and absolutely necessary for games industry products with 
their huge amounts of content and such), a project like CMake could 
benefit from a decentralized setup like Mercurial.  Or rather, at least 
_I_ could, so I could easily grab from the remote repository, create 
branches, make changes, commit, and so on.
