No.  This is the FreeBSD *ports* collection (i.e. third-party code, most of 
which originated on Linux and other *NIX systems).  KDE is not a FreeBSD 
project, for example, neither is MySQL.  According to OpenHub, CMake has 129 
developers - that's more people working on *a build system* than on GNUstep.  

Rather than build on their work, we continue to maintain something that:

- Conflates configuration with building.

- Locks you into a single build mechanism (no XCode project generation, for 
example, so I have to maintain two build systems for anything that I want to 
use with GNUstep and Cocoa).

- Has no well-defined extension mechanism.

- Has no uses outside of the GNUstep ecosystem.
