Well, seeing as how I use CMake to build Chicken Scheme, I'm interested 
in language-neutral backends.  However, I haven't the slightest 
inclination to work on this right now.  I'm just saying, if you get the 
CMake team's buy-in, and you achieve some results, I'd put effort into 
it downstream of you.  I'm imagining it'll take you 1 year to get to a 
point that's interesting enough for me to bother with, but then again 
the CMake guys have done impressive things before.

Chicken Scheme works with SWIG, BTW.  Haven't really used it for that 
though.
