... and despite its many fanboys (perhaps its most notable attribute),
cmake generally seems to be a real dog -- obscure, hard to use, hard
to modify, and fragile.

I've had lots of problems with premake too (premake-built build
systems seem to _never_ work right on my systems, generally suffering
badly from the "works for the author" syndrome), but at least it's
written in Lua... :]
