Sorry if there's a better forum for this message, but I thought this would reach the most CMake developers and module maintainers...

Thanks!  CMake has saved me lots and lots of time, and made my work more enjoyable.

I had a large (by my standards) C++ project that ran on Linux.  Switching to CMake let me eliminate a fairly complex Makefile-based system with a much simpler CMake-based one.  It also made it nearly *trivial* to port the code to OS X, thanks to CMake's ability to easily produce app bundles and to its XCode generator.

I've also recently started porting a large Fortran project from Windows / Visual Fortran to Linux / gfortran.  Being able to use CMake for my Linux builds let me basically ignore the build system and focus instead on the code.  So it saved me time and let me avoid tedious work.  Thanks guys.
