I have three options.
1. lobbying for inclusion of cmake

now 1 does not seems to be a short term solution (besides, did anyone
ever propose cmake as a new package??)
2 seems to me the most obvious option but this raises another
question: what should I put in BuildRequires?? qmake, qt-devel or
what?
qt-devel (or /usr/bin/qmake, which would only break if qmake were
moved to a different bin directory).
3 would make sense but I guess it will be detrimental to the package
configurability (my chosen options will be hardcoded in the Makefile).
Moreover, how would I deal with the additional file in the .spec??
You would either insert your prebuilt Makefile as a %patch or include
it as a %{SOURCEx} file. The ugly thing about a prebuilt Makefile most
likely will be that it contains hardcoded paths (to programs,
libraries and headers), which would increase the maintenance
requirements.
