Hi all
I just discovered that curl apparently now also optionally supports
cmake as build system. Per official documentation however, ./configure
still seems first choice, or at least as supported as cmake.
As I personally don't see the benefits of cmake over autotools from a
builders perspective (I have used neither as a developer), I suggest
to stay on autotools for the moment.
However, there might be a lfs/blfs policy regarding preference for
cmake that I am not aware of?

Hi Tim,
In this case, we definitely want to stay with autotools. cURL is a
direct dependency of CMake, so we'd introduce problems (a circular
dependency) there with trying to get CMake building before we build
cURL. :-)
