The vtk and octaviz pacakges use CMake.  I initially packaged octaviz for
Debian, which is now maintained by the Debian Octave group.  I do not
remember having troubles using CMake, although have been an Autotools addict
for years made me find CMake weird at first.

My understanding is that the CMake project is gaining a lot of momentum and
several free software project are switching or considering to switch from AT
to CMake.

A fellow has even proposed a cmake.mk file for use with CDBS:
