FYI, I plan to commit HDFS-573 next week, which ports libhdfs to Windows. With this patch, we have a new build requirement: Windows build machines now require CMake. I've updated BUILDING.txt accordingly.
For those of you working on a Windows dev machine, please install CMake at your earliest convenience. I'll hold off committing for a few more days to give everyone time to react.
