why ? It works on windows, cross compilation works. So there is no
benefits. Don't mention the visual studio support : vc++ can not
compile correctly some parts of the EFL, so it's irrelevant.

I would actually like you to answer that question: why moving to cmake
if the autotools are already doing the job correctly ? It will in the
end do exactly the same thing, but with less power:

 * portability (you just need a shell with a, autotool tarball,
nothing more, no tweaks)
 * cross compilation (cmake is bad at that, it's working fine with the
autotools)
 * you can't build at the same time static and shared lib with cmake
 * i've never succeeded in using cmake on windows

And there is absolutely NO chance that I will help someone with a
possible cmake build system, whatever your arguments will be.
