quote from Daniel Stenberg:

"libcurl's cmake support is also flaky, at best, and I was told the other
day that it is broken again. We simply don't have anyone around closely
enough to maintain the cmake build at a good quality."

Also, what is the interest of having several build systems for a library ?
The autotools provide a tarball with a shell script which can be used
anywhere. It is sufficient.

I use cegcc for cross compilation.
