importC and cmake

[jmh530]

I was thinking about trying out importC with a library I have 
used in the past (it's been a few years since I used it with D). 
The library uses cmake to generate static or dynamic libraries (I 
believe I did static with Windows and dynamic with Linux, but I 
can't really recall).

My understanding of cmake is that it is used to generate the 
files needed to build something in a cross-platform kind of way 
(so make files for linux, project files for Visual studio, etc.). 
This doesn't seem consistent with how importC works (which would 
be using a D compiler to compile the project). I suppose I could 
just try it and see if it works, but since the project uses cmake 
I wonder if there aren't potentially things that cmake is doing 
that are important and could get missed in this naive sort of 
approach (for instance, it has a way to use algorithms written in 
C++ by default, though they can be disabled in the cmake file).

Does anyone have any importC experience with libraries that are 
built with a tool like cmake that could help make this clearer?
