But I'm sure ;-) (that some things are not in CMake).

There is currently no compile test in the CMakeLists.txt files, AFAICT (I 
looked 
for the variables / config.h macros that are defined by ac_try_compile in 
autoconf, and I didn't find a single one of them in the CMakeLists.txt files.

There are such exotic (?) things that probably older SunOS compilers need 
special options to be POSIX compliant, and some more (e.g. does the compiler 
support bool?).

One of them is really important: This new POSIX scandir prototype 
(HAVE_SCANDIR_POSIX) that I added recently is missing in CMake. This means that 
CMake can't (yet) be used to configure Fedora 11 and some other new Linux 
systems with the new Glib (2.10, IIRC). I'm investigating this, but if someone 
can help, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, Mike, IIRC, but Matt did the latest 1.1 releases.

Looks so ...
