[CMake] Use CMake to create C# project

[Andreas Roth]

Thanks for your response David.

I was afraid that their is no great interest in getting C# to work with 
CMake.
What would be required to add C# as a native language to CMake? Can 
anyone give me some hints how this could be done? A n example or how-to 
would be great.
The other way would be to use a bunch of add_custom_commands to get the 
work done. So far i've found the following projects which have tried 
this way:
- http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/Sandbox/CMakeCSharp/
- http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1061491&view=revision
Are there more? What are the limitations of these solutions? Are there 
any limitation using the add_custom_commands approach compared to the 
native language approach?

Regards,
Andreas
