CMake is also useful to create installers/tarballs (see CPack), run tests (see CTest; it's NOT a unit test library but a tests launcher on steroids) and submit the results of compilation, tests and installation to a dashboard where you can easily see what (if anything) went wrong (see CDash, formerly Dart).
If I know the git hackers, CMake will _never_ be used except _possibly_ for generating a .vcproj file.
