Note that CMake isn’t actually a build system, it’s a wrapper around
other build systems. Think of it more as a “meta-build” system. It
generates GNU Makefiles on Linux-type systems, and Visual Studio and
XCode IDE projects on Microsoft and Apple platforms.

In short, it should in principle be possible to create a CMake backend
that drives whatever platform-specific build system you have here.
