I would love to see this functionality added to CMake too, as you know I 
talked about subprojects at Camp KDE back in January (along with many other 
things). After talking with you and experimenting a little it became clear 
that something more automated would be required.

One other thing I would like to possibly add (please correct me if this 
already works) is filtering of the updates into the subprojects so that the 
subproject is aware of who modified the files affecting that build of the 
subproject.

I will try to help with this where I can, and I think this is very important 
not only for KDE, but many other projects that are facing similar problems 
with large codebases. I think it was generally agreed that emails to everyone 
in a module were just not fine-grained enough for most KDE modules.
