Build2 seems to have the right idea.

Build2 seems to have the right idea.
Scattered files: In CMake, it's quite common for the build script to be split over multiple files. Most commonly it's a top-level CMakeLists.txt, then another for each subdirectory (often corresponding to a target), plus some utilities in a cmake/ subdirectory. But that is nothing compared to build2. Just look at the build script repo for libpq. What on earth is going on? There are a few top-level files, plus a submodule for the upstream (fair enough), but then absolutely heaps of subdirectories mirroring pq directories, plus softlinks into the upstream submodule. There are others that actually look worse to me but I don't feel comfortable linking to them because I'm not sure what's going on!
