Bruce, Fine; I've installed it on my CentOS box, but that doesn't mean I like it. It still doesn't make sense to take away options, even if they aren't being maintained like someone would want.
I do have another post to make about a little project I've started, so I'll emd this thread on the above note.

You've shown your competence with autotools and so it should not take you long at all. The problem is that somewhere between 20 and 100 people on the team have to learn either autotools or cmake well enough to make continuing changes to the build system. And I looked at autotools and decided that basing their further work on it, and forcing them all up a learning curve so steep was not realistic compared to getting the 5 people maximum that are competent in autotools to use cmake. We'd been talking about this for at least a year, so I was really happy when Richard came along and actually did the work. I hope you'd admit that the esthetic choices in autotools and even make are not the ones we'd make today. It ended up being a balance of least ugly, most functional, largest community.
