The argument for change seems to make sense, though I am not an experienced system developer and have not used cmake.
I tried building the new version on Fedora 19. Having a directory name starting with '~' in the source tree was a minor nuisance. I renamed it to avoid repeatedly having to use ./~ . (I understand that's not intended to last.) Apart from that, 'make' failed at first because I did not have flex. But 'yum install flex' fixed that. After that 'make' worked. I killed my ctwm and restarted with the new one, and everything seems fine: all 12 workspaces working normally. I am using it now. I expect no trouble on our Centos and Scientific linux systems, but our Solaris machine does not have cmake, and I doubt that I'll be able to get it installed as Solaris is no longer officially supported here.
