I have seen far worse CMake configs. You deserve the kindness.

Ben's work was originally much more limited than mine. Once he found out
about my work (read: once I pushed it to a public repo), he started helping
me when time allows. I feel I should probably mention that his interest in
D is (IIRC) as a Fedora contributor, updating old, abandoned D1 projects to
D2, not in any official Kitware capacity.
