IMHO, "mostly" is equivalent to "not" in this case.  As long as we still 
need some parts of the auto-foo stuff, we're better off keepin all of 
it.  It works, it does a lot for us, and covers a lot of corner cases.

I see CMake as useful only for those platforms that cannot use auto-foo,
most evidently Windows.

Same here.
