Or you use an IDE, which will need its own build files. In fact, if you use anything other than a text console on *nix, you may want to consider a different build tool.
If my opinion counted (it doesn't, I haven't contributed code to Fossil) I would support CMake. But Fossil's sources are heavily preprocessed and it may only be possible to build them in a *nix shell environment.
