This very interesting and constructive.

Having make the CMake files for the library I maintain, the 
serialization library I have some exposure to this so I have a couple of 
questions:

a) My main interest has been to use CMake to generate Xcode IDE files. I 
find the settings for the Xcode IDE all over the place - same as for 
Visual Studio.  I find them easier to set in CMakeLists.txt.

b) I don't see where you've included the header files.  I need these to 
work with the IDE.

c) I see you've made provision for static and dynamic libraries.  Good, 
I did something similar to the same.

d) I don't see where CTest is being invoked to compile and run the tests.

Again, specific examples are very helpful in following proposals.
