An interesting approach to blame other people for the failures
of cmake ... cmake is notoriously bad on "other" platforms (that is,
not L/W/M) because it wants to be jack of all trades and fails
miserably, and clearly the whole concept cannot work reliably, even on
a single platform things can vary significantly, and on a platform
like illumos where a couple of compilers (and compiler versions)
and linkers live, it gets easily lost. I always struggle hard with
cmake build systems outside of Linux, and fail in about 50% of cases
because its nearly impossible (or uneconomic) to get the misconceptions
fixed. I now try to avoid packages with a cmake build system.

If you want to blame people, direct your rants to the cmake developers,
not onto us.
