You can pass additional makefiles to pd-lib-builder with the 
"makefiles:" variable, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Wait, you asked him to help with the pd-lib-builder system and he just 
switched everything to CMake? That's pretty hilarious :-D

I'm using CMake for my own more complex externals, so there's nothing 
wrong with that, but I do think that Pd externals should use 
pd-lib-builder whenever possible, just because it has become the 
de-facto standard. (Although I do think that CMake is strictly better 
than plain Makefiles.) So unless you have a really good technical reason 
for using CMake, I think you should switch back to pd-lib-builder.
