Well unfortunately checking for Tidy versions is going to be a smidge
more involved than I'd like.  Basically at compile time, we can
trivially determine whether we're trying to link against tidy or
tidy-html5, refusing to link against old tidy.
But then we also have to do a runtime check, to make sure that we have a
recent enough tidy-html5.

Yes, it works quite well, doesn't it?
I've always been a bit fond of our single makefile approach, but cmake
is so much better for the cross-platform stuff.
If we keep the makefiles around, our biggest concern will be
guaranteeing that they never get out of sync with cmake.

Sure.  I added the install rule tonight.
It's too bad that cmake doesn't give you an uninstall rule "for free",
but they describe how to craft one in their FAQ.  I'll be happy to add
it if you like.
