[CMake] Generic XML output file of project heirarchy

Has there ever been any interest in CMake producing a generic "XML" (or some other file format) file that lays out the project structure. I envision this to be a "Generator" that has elements of the CodeBlocks and Eclipse style of project setup but groups things together a bit more? So for each target one would list the source files, the include directories, the name of the target, special target properties? I guess one could base it on Unix Makefiles and have the "make command" that would be used to actually build the project? Is there something already in CMake that I am missing perhaps?

Thoughts?

Thanks
