For reference, this was also attached in a later message of this
thread on 2015-01-09:

Can you post a link to that implementation so others may try it?

Steve K. posted a review of your patch on 2014-12-19:

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/10711/focus=11972

that has not yet received a response.

Also, for unrelated reasons we've now added JsonCpp into the CMake
build process.  You could consider using that to write the .json
file so that no manual formatting or escaping code is needed.
The current patch does not add potentially needed json escapes.

Thanks,
