The main advantage I see for cmake is he following:

One time configure: this means you don't have to configure the project each 
time you build, clean or install the project, unlike the current status in 
which you need to pass the 20+ options everytime you run scons, and wait for 
the configuration to take place (find out where everything is, etc). This is 
a significant gain IMO.

Of course, if the new build system doesn't prove a reasonable gain for most 
people, then it makes no sense to adopt it. I just thought I'd give it a try.
