Since configure does *not* run on win32, I'm grateful for a non-unix build configuration option. Before cmake, there was pretty much no hope of a cross-platform build environment to support win32 without a whole bunch of added stuff---e.g., it is not really just win32 any more... As near as I can tell, the main issues with cmake are along the lines of "it doesn't work" which are exactly the same ones you get with autoshell stuff. It is just that configure has been around longer so most of the rough edges have been sanded smooth for platforms on which it works. Feedback from different platforms is exactly what is needed!
