This is not only my work.
The bigger part of CMakeLists files has been written by Mateusz Skovronsky.
We both independently started to implement CMake support for KiCad :-)

You can ancounter a problems with "out of source" build, if after "in 
source" build you did not delete files generated by CMake in KiCad tree.
Simply delete this files and try to build "out of source" (this is from 
CMake FAQ).

Of course we can do more, but I have too little time :-)
