If you are not going to use makefiles, then you do not want to base it 
on the eclipse generator.  You want to start with cmLocalGenerator and 
cmGlobalGenerator.   Can NetBeans be driven from the command line?  That 
is a requirement for getting try_compile to work.  You might want to 
look at the VS 2010 generator as a model.  It is the most recent one 
done.  It has a target generator which is a bit easier than the 
local/global split of the older way of doing things.
