One of the problems, yea.

In this case, I think anything involving a full-fledged programming
language other than D is going to be, at the very least, controversial.

Even though I've always avoided CMake since it relies on other
makes on the back end, it seems like (out of all the existing build
tools I'm aware of) it may be the most appropriate in DMD's case. I
think that's something to further look into.
