I guess that slightly misses the point, as I believe Jussi also
proposes getting rid of the build.pl/dmake marriage, plus much of
the hard-coded, non-declarative stuff in the makefiles. I'm overall
*much* in favor of change here, as the build system is one of the
first contact points for new devs, and it *is* arcane, non-standard,
and largely inefficient (I have a good recollection of Kai's jam
measurements...).
Whether cmake is the best possible choice I don't know, though (but
then again, if someone volunteers to work on that, I'd definitely
not discourage him).
Now that sounds much better. I was a bit under the impression this was
just about moving to cmake because its new and shiny - and I remember
the pains caused by the move to svn, which in itself was simple, but
created a huge bow wave through infrastructure and whatnot.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Have Fun,
Björn
