current status: writing a build system in cmake

not "something that builds a project and is also implemented in implemented in cmake"

no, it is "something that is implemented in cmake and can be used to implement a build system that is in turn used as a part of a build system (also in cmake)"

@whitequark That must be the most masochistic tech project short of installing Window ME.

Now I wonder what you're up to next :)

@x42 in something like 2019 i tried to improve the "simple makefile" that this project used to have and it damn near gave me a psychotic break after i stared at it for three days. believe me, meta-cmake is an improvement
