I'm not proposing this as an alternate build system (but it could do that,
too). I just say that I'm using it in a CMake driven project and that it
would be way easier for anyone that wants to something like that to have
the infrastructure in place. As I said in first mail, all one has to do is
add ccan subdirectory and dependencies.

Maintaining is simple, I'd say, because CMakeLists.txt in each module is
very simple: dependencies and a one line macro call. There is one file to
maintain and that is the one in the root.

I see config.h.in as a separate issue that I would like to discuss,
because, as I said, there may be value in having a config.h.in file in each
module that lists the variables that have an effect on compilation, even if
the cmake build system is not implemented. (This is not implemented in my
fork, yet).

That's weird. And it is linked from main page. Thanks.
