Unfortunately, no.  If you look back in the list archives for when
a FastBuild generator was proposed I think there were some guidance
posts.

Before diving into the implementation please post a design here
for how the generated build files may be laid out.  One will need
to map between CMake's abstractions and Bazel's.

Thanks,
