So here come some first impressions for the new Makefile generator, most 
important first: 
 
1) some internal generated variables have been renamed: 
${target_NAME}_SRC_OBJS was renamed to ${target_NAME}_OBJECTS 
Was this necessary ? I know this is internal, but it broke my build. Now 
I have to check which one of both exists. I have a custom rule to link my 
objects together (for an embedded target): 
 
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND( 
   TARGET ${_exe_NAME}  
   PRE_LINK  
   COMMAND ${CMAKE_C_COMPILER}  
      ARGS -o foo $\(foo_OBJECTS\) -nostdlib  -nostartfiles  
     -Lecos/install/lib -Ttarget.ld -mcpu=xscale 
   ) 
 
and the main target being  
ADD_LIBRARY(foolib static ${foo_SRCS}) 
 
So everytime this lib is built my actual target is also linked. Is there 
a way to change the "normal" link command so that it looks like my custom 
command, so that I don't have to build this dummy static lib ? 
 
2) "Scanning dependancies" for each file is quite slow. Do you plan to 
optimize it ? 
 
3) After editing one of my included cmake-files cmake again scanned 
dependancies for all objects files and built them *all* again, although I 
changed only my custom rule to link them all together in the end. 
 
4) cmake now generates a subdir where it puts stuff and the Makefile is 
split into many small files. Which are the advantages of this approach ? 
The many included files in the Makefile don't make it easier to read.

P.S. yesterday I tried the new XCode generator the first time and it 
worked. Very cool :-)
