I think that's asking for the moon.  Regarding MSVC as "the true
format," and translating it to everything else out there, just doesn't
sound tenable.  Microsoft doesn't even retain their format from MSVC
version to MSVC version, they change it every time.  CMake keeps up
with that BTW.  Some people use CMake solely to have a common build
for all the different MSVC versions, they don't do any cross-platform
work!
