To do this we need to retire the autoconf build and make the cmake environment as prolific as autoconf is, and be able to run cross tests on Windows. That's a lot to ask, and we need to release at least twice in the upcoming year, and three times in the next. No more once-per-year or more releases, We have folks interested and engaged and we need to help them contribute as much as possible.
