While I see cmake as a regression from autoconf/automake, pkgsrc should not be trying to replace upstream's build system. The bloat is one thing, but the culture of OS-ifdefed non-portable and rpath-messy cmake build scripts is in my view the biggest issue. I personally think trying to fight upstreams about build system choices is not a good use of time. Your call with your time of course. I find it more efficient to fix upstream cmakefiles. With pkgsrc, we need to be mindful of the costs of such things: carrying patches, especially the cost of bringing them forward, and the difficulty of users reporting bugs to upstream who will ask that the program be built with upstream's native build procedure. If you just meant: I did this, and here it is in case anybody else wants it, that's fine. If you meant: please switch pkgsrc to use this, then I don't think we should do that.
