It would be nice when I could add the files to svn.
I am glad that lyx is following KDE to have several competing build systems. CMake won over there and I am not sure if this will be the case for lyx. I did a scons build system and now it is in cvs (development/scons). If you would like to add your cmake system in, I guess you will have to prove a little bit harder to the developers why cmake is better than autotools, and to what extend your system can replace autotools. And I guess most importantly, whether or not you can maintain this system. My biased view is that almost anyone can fix the scons system, but very few will be able to do this for cmake without learning the jargon of cmake. Bo
