I'm not talking about simple projects. I'm talking about libraries
which might use other C libraries, where you need to download
dependencies before building (due to licensing issues that prevent
distribution for example) or invoke code generators, and check that
the user has all the tools before building.

Have you seen the QtD CMakefile? It's almost 1000 lines.
