If anybody has other ideas to share downloads between "Release" and "Debug"

Caching for source tarballs would be a nice feature so that when you
clean the project you don't have to redownload them. I pulled this
off with stamp files in CMakePorts I think with some suggestions from
you. The problem of course is if you really want to remove the
downloads you need yet another target.
I'm trying to experiment with this...
What I do not really catch is why the file dependencies are set up using
stamp files instead of real downloaded files.
Probably more insight on how CMake is treating dependendencies at file
and target level seem really needed.
Also, for any that are interested, beta releases of zlib now have a
CMakeLists.txt in them. It could use testing on Mac OSX and other
unix systems.

Did you tried that? I' did but seem to have a strange error on linking
their examples:
I got
zlib.lib(gzlib.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_snprintf referenced in function _gzdopen
that seem to get away by adding
# define snprintf _snprintf
to gzguts.h
Anyone has ever tested it under MSVC? It would be nice to have helpers
to build patches, as in CMakePorts...
