Yes, I agree that the macro you'd proposed before was too large and 
'generic' and that it would probably be easier to create separate config 
files per-framework. 

However, I also think that many KDE frameworks might benefit from having a 
much less complex macro so that the 'trivial' cases are easy to handle with 
a macro (eg, KDE Frameworks which only install a library, and no plugins or 
macros or do anything else 'funny').

That is something that can be investigated at any time though, and probably 
only when we have some information about all frameworks we're going to start 
with. I don't think 'get one framework buildsystem correct/complete and then 
try to apply it to all other frameworks' is the right way to go. Rather, I 
think 'Let's get things working in some form, then see where we can extract 
common stuff to macros or upstream CMake' is the right way to go. I think 
that's what we've been doing so far.

Thanks,

Steve.
