The 1.3.x branch does, but for 1.4.x and trunk, you can use CMake for
most purposes. The CMake build currently doesn't support GSSAPI and
BROTLI compression, but other than that it is (in my not so humble

That's OK, any kind of testing, even with OO trunk, would be welcome.
The only other Serf consumer I can test is Subversion, adding even one
more would make out real-life testing increase by 100%. :)
