For instance, I'd like to have a 'cmake' repository where I store all 
the FindBlah.cmake modules, so that I can share them from every 
repository, and not worry about users changing and committing in the 
main project instead of the submodule.

... which reminds me... it was you who wanted to provide a working 
recipe to compile and install CMake on msysGit, right?

Right

What happened in the meantime?

What happened is I was very busy until November. Now I've got some free 
time.

At this moment, what stops me from beginning this project is a simple 
question: is it worth my time?

Well, I thought you wanted to show that CMake is superior to what we have 
right now, and for me as msysGit maintainer, that implies that CMake 
actually works within msysGit.

Now, I do not think that it is hard to get CMake to compile in msysGit, 
but then, I just lost access to the last Windows computer, so I cannot do 
that myself.

As Miles said, it is up to you to decide whether it is so complicated, or 
whether CMake is likely not to convince, that the time balance turns out 
positive or negative.
