CMake as a library with bindings for various scripting languages (e.g. Python) would make a lot of sense to me. Have the power of a proper scripting language and let the CMake library deal with generating the build system.
I once looked into extracting the CMake build system generation code and make it into a standalone library. But I soon realized that it’s not exactly a weekend project.
