Agreed, this is awesome, even if it means turning away from qtrvu. Qt is a rather onerous dependency, especially to support just one program in all of Radiance. Most of what Schorsch has to say here is sailing over my head, but I'm happy to help update the CMake build system to support whatever ends up getting added and/or dropped here.
Same for testing; any tests for scons should probably be "ported" to CMake and vice versa, assuming each testing framework has the the other's ability... On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 9:48 AM, Gregory J.
