Autotools does pretty much everything that cmake does, even if it's not obvious to a person that has never used it before. About the only thing that I remember you talking about doing with it that Autotools doesn't do is download and install missing libraries, but that part can be done with shell scripts. Even building the code in a separate directory is possible with Autotools.

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.
Perhaps there's been some conversation I haven't been privy to, but what does the cmake build have to do with CentOS? The whole point of the cmake build is it should work for almost any system (linux/windows/OSX/BSD)
I'm often overly diplomatic most of the time which hasn't seemed to help so I'll be more direct...
I don't see how changing to cmake effectively "takes options away", other than in the very technical interpretation that yes, the autotools build will eventually go away. The cmake build lets you have more control over the build, how it get's built, and even how it gets installed. How does that provide less options?
You want it to do something that it doesn't do yet? Ask! If I can figure out how to make it happen I'll do it.
You've made it abundantly clear that you don't want to learn cmake but provided very little data as to why. Have you looked at the code? Have you tried it? (As a parent Green Eggs and Ham is coming to mind).
