Hey everyone,

Ledger's build system has just switched to CMake.  My reason for doing it
now:

 1. Maintenance is no longer a nightmare!  Easier to maintain means fewer
    bugs, and it should be easier to track down user issues.

 2. acprep is *much* smaller; it's just a thin wrapper now.

 3. Building on Windows using Visual Studio is on the horizon!  I haven't
    tried it yet, but you but you should be able to generate a Visual Studio
    project file using: cmake -G "Visual Studio 2010"

 4. Similarly, you can now build using XCode if you prefer.

I'm expecting there to be some hiccups during the next week or so, so don't be
shy about posting issues you encounter with the new system.  You will, of
course, have to install the latest CMake (2.8.8).

Goodbye, autoconf.

John
