Hello I have spent a bit of time on CMakifing hwloc in the past, mostly for windows support, but I didn't have much knowledge about CMake, so it didn't go far. Somebody offered Windows vcxproj files later, so we integrated those and I forgot about CMake. The main issue is about periodic testing. I basically can't do it manually often enough (nightly testing is done using Mingw only). Our vcxproj are already outdated for this reason. So (1) not currently as far I as know (2) yes (3) it won't replace autotools since we have autotools-projects embedding hwloc. if we can have both autotools and cmake without too much trouble, I guess it's ok Brice
