As far as I'm concerned, this is Autotools' problem. CMake should pursue no slavish strategy with regards to Autotools. Only strategies that actually result in Autotools projects getting converted to CMake projects. I've made known my political views on that! It's mostly about working with people who are ready to move on and willing to make changes. > I think I am going to post to the msys mailing > list and get some input from those folks.

Last I checked a couple of years back, the MSYS developers were surprisingly hostile to autotools. Don't wade into their mailing list saying "MSYS is for running autotools" unless you want to seek offense. I believe I checked into this when you and I were having this very argument awhile ago. And I conceded, having previously been of the /usr/local mindset, because of what I found on the MSYS list. It will be interesting to see what you determine *at present*.
