I have no idea about large projects.  Chicken Scheme is a small 
project.  I do believe in incrementalism and getting stuff done that 
works.  I do think that the "out of directory" build philosophy is 
important.  I would suggest that you find a piece of your project that 
can be completed with CMake, so that you can test pilot your experience 
with it.  I don't think it makes much sense to try to learn CMake on a 
large project, unless someone is paying you for your learning curve.
