Surely not but it also has not generator in cmake and not even a  
current stable release. The explanation on the codeblocks site is just  
a lame excuse for a missing release management. But that's not  
on-topic here.

It terms of cmake, it is (on windows).

So what? You can use KDevelop, then.

Where is it available. Some random CVS dump doesn't really count  
unless there is a statement from the developers that a particular  
version is known to work in a decent way (usually known as release).

Wasn't there something about external Makefile projects? In this case,  
it would, although cmake doesn't support this (yet?) just like the  
whole codeblocks thing.
