Clunky, fine.  "Less powerful" with respect to build systems, has yet
to be proven.  Until someone proves it, with a concrete example,
Kitware will never be convinced that any "better" language is needed.
So I'm saying, quit talking about how Lua or some other language is
supposed to be better, and find something that proves it would be
better.
