I've finished a experimental prototyping.

There are several commits of refrigerating CMake scripts. This is the
important part:

I've got well understanding thought this experiment.

> C) Implement Make-like tool in Python or Perl

This approach is better than others because more precise dependency
updating checking is possible.  For example, my patches solve the
problem updating supplemental_dependency.tmp triggers regenerating all
bindings.

And, Perl is better than Python because generate-bindings.pl is
written in Perl.  If generate-bindings.pl will be converted to Perl
Module, I can stop using fork&exec for speed and avoiding Windows
quoting command problem.

Ninja deletes all output files before executing a command.
So, I need to use add_custom_target.

Can I proceed?
