There are definitely missing features in cmake. I'm actually working on
adding one of them: support for compiler-rt. There are likely some others.

That said, I actually agree -- I think that cmake, while ugly, can be made
to support all of our use cases. There are some use cases that
autoconf+make can't support, so I'd rather we just pick cmake and bang on
it until it works the way we want.
