[cmake-developers] Extracting target metadata, IDE integration

[Tobias Hunger]

Hi Peter,

CMake does know all the headers or it could not decide which files
need rebuilding.

How would making cmake parse a file in the syntax of another build
system help creator understand existing cmake projects?

This is not about extending cmake language: It makes cmake generate
another description of the project in a format that IDEs can use, in
addition to the description stored in the Makefiles (or whichever
other build tool).

Best Regards,
Tobias
