Hmm, I understand ... modern IDE spoils developers :-) I really like to 
manage these by hand too, as it provides good insight so I like to have 
a tool that  provide readable make files (cmake), and respect user 
defined content too.

I was working on a cmake plugin, but some other projects have got more 
attention at the moment (this is a bit daytime work related :-)). But it 
is certainly possible, and I miss it too and I really hope I will have 
time for this geany plugin in the near future.
