+ CMake build system
+--------------------------------
+
+This branch exists for introducing CMake build system to Subversion. This
+would done by adding a generator for the CMake files, based on the
+'build.conf' file.
+
+This was discussed on dev@ mailing list and archived at [1].
+
+
+ How to use
+--------------------------------
+
+```
+# Run gen-make.py to generate the CMake files.
+$ ./gen-make.py -t cmake
+
+# Configure CMake cache. CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is a directory, where the
+# dependencies are installed in. You may pass any additional options
+# to the configure command.
+$ cmake -B out -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/deps
+
+# Finally, build!
+$ cmake --build out
+```
+
+
