Hi Sebastian,
Particularly I've used CMake "scripts" in some "build configurations" at
our CI server as a truly cross-platform scripting language for generic
tasks like download archive, check sha/md5, unpack it, do some file
operations... it works perfectly for Linux and Windows (it is why I chose
CMake %).
BTW, also I use it to talk to some REST API a little, but found lack of
setting arbitrary HTTP method... :( for simple requests it is fine, but
really soon it is not enough existed methods of `file` command... it is why
I'm thinking about to extend it (curl library used by CMake can do all that
I need)... but need to discuss first, cus I think `file` command is not a
suitable candidate for such kind of extension... (casting Brad King into
the thread %)
