A requirement to get the "./configure --help" to respond instantaneous and not after first checking all CMake*.txt files. > -it hides (at least a bit) the fact that there is cmake running An understandable concern; it is one that can be solved by adding some output where it tells the user the version etc. Correct me if I misunderstood; but AFAICS the current idea was to parse all config files (which in case of KOffice takes several minutes with clean caches) and present the options based on that. If you want to do that I suggest to not show in anyway that its cmake, as the user will hate cmake immediately ;) -- Thomas Zander
