I don't really care much either way, but cmake doesn't follow the standard
build procedure (./configure && make && make install), though I imagine
./configure could be emulated with some script.

It would change the sequence to

cmake . && make && make install

So a shell script named 'configure' that starts 'cmake .' is the most easy case :-) Probably it'd also need to pass through some command line args, for example --prefix.
