The real problem I see with cmake is that you need to have cmake installed on the build system. While cmake itself isn't the problem, often, it also depends on the version of cmake that is installed. The good idea about auto* tools is the idea that you don't need to install any tools to build, just to develop. A POSIX shell and Perl should be installed everywhere ... Maybe the problem becomes less important in a few years if everyone has cmake installed and it's more "stable" in terms of adding new features. Thanks, Bernhard
