Sounds good.  If you are using the patch you sent, you should be aware 
that the parts of the makefile that invoke cmake when input files change 
need to be updated with the correct -f option.

You may also be interested in the import/export library stuff that is 
going on in CMake CVS.   We are adding the ability to export a target 
from a cmake build so that it can be imported into another project.  So, 
you can treat libraries external to your project just like the internal 
ones.

Something like this:

find_package(bar REQUIRED)
add_executable(foo foo.cxx)
target_link_libraries(foo bar)
