I'd like to get the new build scheme in for M5, based on cmake - I'm

need some group discussion after getting a chance to test drive it a
bit.
Thoughts?
I'm keen to get it in but it will need some advance warning so people
can try it in different environments. There may be some teething
problems and there are significant downstream build systems that will
be affected. Ideally we want it to have the same "API" (./bootstrap;
./configure --with-same-options; make), where bootstrap and configure
are wrappers to the new system.
It will most likely take a good 3-6 weeks to test a new make system, and
deal with all the compat and downstream testing. So we probably have two
options
- release 0.5 then do the build update
- delay 0.5 for a month or so.
I am not in favour of delaying the release for this. I think the move
needs more discussion and it would be better to allow ourselves time to
do that (also fairer to those working on the java side of the project).
