A cmake wrapper / cmd runner / package manager thingy called fips. Hard to pitch it in a sentence but I've been using it for nearly a decade now each day for most of my C/C++ projects.

...I still hesitate to recommend it to other people over a pure cmake-based workflow though because it's very opinionated and violates some cmake "best practices".
