Hey John, Let me start off by thanking you for ledger and thank everyone for their hard work on it.
I respect your decision to switch to CMake, it's your baby, right? But I just wanted to let you know, not everyone can use the latest version. Ubuntu 11.10 uses 2.85 and and 12.04 uses 2.87. So if ledger really needs the latest version, Ubuntu users can't play along until 12.10 comes out in October.
