Getting only that should be trivial. I have smth similar for Meson
(https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-meson) and it was
more to get the build than actual code - it is plain generic editor
with textmate grammar. Replacing the grammar in the meson bundle with
cmake one (https://github.com/textmate/cmake.tmbundle) would probably
be enough.
P.S. I made the meson one separate as it's not much and I wanted it
out ASAP but if you want to see it in CDT just let me know and I'll
start the process.
