Richard,
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.
There was never a question as to the capability of autotools or cmake tools, but rather the FreeDV/codec2 implementation. Right now the freedv autotools configuration is broken for many or incomplete, whichever way you want to look at it. I don't know autotools well enough to fix it so I developed the cmake config since that's what I'm comfortable with.
I know other projects try to maintain multiple build systems (autotools/scons/cmake, etc.) and personally I don't have a problem with that, but no one has stepped up fix the autotools build in it's current implementation or support it on a continuing basis. That being the case if I were leading the project, which I'm not, I would make the same decision Bruce did.
Thanks,
Richard
