As far as I know CMake does NOT understand Makefile it does **generates**<br>
makefiles which is totally different story.<br>
<br>
Again AFAIK CMake is never **reading** a Makefile.<br>
<br>
I invite you to verify my feeling from the CMake source code.<br>

<br>
Just as with foreign language, because of the semantic.<br>
<br>
Usually I am able to say what I want in english without trouble.<br>
But give me some litterature in english to translate back to my<br>
native language and I'll get stuck after 2 pages or 2 lines depending<br>
on the author.<br>
