If we just discuss this theoretically again, nobody will see the need to
take the initiative and actually get to results.
From my experience of using CMake for ReactOS I got negative opinion. SCons

didn't seem very useful for us. But I do encourage someone else to try
too, maybe the tools improved over time already, and provide better
possibilities now.
Or in other words: I'm open for any solution as
