Thank you! My vague TODO list was something like:
* improve test coverage
* update the documentation system to have the to-command links CMake's
docs have (it would be nice to have a Sphinx module that was generically
usable by projects downstream of CMake that would link to the upstream
docs properly using intersphinx)
* the ecm_target_link_libraries thing you suggested to allow the
ecm_add_tests command to be split up a bit
* up the minimum CMake version (need to decide with the Frameworks
maintainers about how important Ubuntu 14.04 support is, mainly)
* upstream some stuff to CMake
