My one exposure to CMake was when I was fixing (and helping to fix) a build 
issue for Blender that had an experimental (but optional) feature.

My general impression was that I saw a general similarity to autofoo but it 
seemed as if it was a little simpler in some ways. One thing I definitely 
liked about it is being able to do multiple compiles of the program in to 
different sub-directories, each with a different enabled feature set. It 
allowed me to have both a git master version of Blender at the same time as 
a version that had the experimental feature compiled in. It made it easier 
to test the experimental version while still having a reasonably stable copy 
for regular use.
