Yeah, turning libs into frameworks should actually be pretty easy.
Making app-bundles will probably be trickier, since it's like a
framework, but has metadata associated with it.

Maybe I'll just see if I can get the OSX stuff to do more
framework/app-bundle generation and see what happens.

One problem is that it will have to be configurable; since OSX lives a
double life it needs to be capable of making frameworks *or* standard
libraries, depending on the requirements of the person using cmake.
