Here is my two cents. Until CMake actually do support C#, I do not
believe this is worth the effort to use cmake. There are only two C#
implementations and both of them do support *.sln/csproj files.

You can have a look at two projects mummy [1] & gdcm [2] they both
uses C# and you will see the amount of detail needed to keep track of
dependencies and get things right. So if you project is only using C#,
I would suggest to go with the default VS tools. If your project is
using cmake anyway, be ready for some low level cmake programming [3].
