used CMake before, and while I know opinions on CMake aren't 100% positive, scikit-build looks like a significant improvement over distutils. I think we should try to integrate it at some point in the coming year.
It looks like you have to have CMake installed though ( http://scikit-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html). This is a hurdle in itself.
There are binary wheels (https://pypi.org/project/cmake) and it's packaged for conda, plus good binary installers - for a development setup that's about as easy as it is going to get. Ralf
