I see no reason at all to use for embedded code unless you want to use
a large 3rd party library that already uses it, and you want to use
that library's existing cmake build process. For smaller libraries,
it's probably easier to write a makefile from scratch.

IMO, configuring stuff that uses cmake seems very obtuse and fragile —
but that's probably because I don't use it much.
