Here is some more progress. This drop adds verse and also builds the
object files and binaries outside the source tree (../cmake-build) to
keep things cleaner. The dependencies (makesdna, verse mkprot) can
probably still be refined a little. The only things that are now
missing is gameengine and player and a review of the platform/IDE
dependant flags (OSX Intel/PPC, VS2003/2005, KDevelop). The main
CMakeLists.txt file contains IF's for just APPLE (Intel assumed) and
WIN32(VS2005 assumed).

To use:

1. Install the latest version of CMake for your platform
2. Untar the attachement in the blender source directory
3. You can either edit the CMakeLists.txt file to choose different
directories options to include or run cmake -i for wizard mode). Cmake
keeps a file called CMakeCache.txt that keeps your last options
(delete this file to return to defaults if you played around with
CMakeLists.txt files and want to regenerate the build cleanly.
4. The command "cmake -G Xcode" generates an XCode project called
Blender.xcodeproj. Just run cmake to see options for your platform.

Let me know if there is any questions.

Cheers,
Jacques
