Leif Walsh commented on ARROW-189:
----------------------------------
Do you also want to remove the ability to use the old scripts, or should I
preserve them for backwards compat?
> C++: Use ExternalProject to build thirdparty dependencies

> My main incentive here is that I want to have a Python sdist that can be
> installed with a simple `pip install ./dist/pyarrow.tar.gz` (so we could
> provide source distributions on PyPI). This will still let the install of
> pyarrow depend on CMake but at least we would have the ability of a source
> distribution.
