I'd like to add a note here: I've created a new plugin on the weekend
and was actually surprised that we already have "Create Folder" and
"Create File" that properly integrate the newly created folders and
files into the buildsystem including review of the changes. IIRC Aleix
did this some time ago, but somehow I never really noticed how good this
works. Same goes for create-class which will suggest to add the new file
to the currently selected folders CMakeLists.txt.

Whats "missing" is things like handling external libs, but thats IMHO
better handled with an editor+code-completion (for things like
find-package files and variables from those files) as a GUI will always
manage to somehow screw up your properly designed cmake file. (Been
there, done that)
