+1 for CMake
Quoting Ben Craig <bencr...@apache.org>:
Picking a build system usually isn't about finding a great option, it's
about finding the least bad option. If I understand cmake correctly, it
may help us keep the visual studio projects better in sync.
CMake will generate the VisualStudio solutions, classic Makefiles,
etc. for us.
and of course out of source tree build. we just need to manage the
CMakeLists.txt files

I'm not opposed to the change on principle. Bonus points if we can make
this work with a relatively old version of CMake.
