I haven't had problems reading CMake files yet. Maybe it depends on the 
programmer who writes the CMake files. My first CMake project was Wengophone 
(now Qutecom).

Well I've started to learn CMake just with reading the manpage. All you need 
is in there. Well there are some people who are not used to read manpages. I 
think that is the problem.

However there is #cmake @ freenode for those who need help.

Cheers,
