Johannes Obermayr's recent patch series remind me of one thing I've been 
planning to ask here for quite some time:

Would anybody oppose dropping automake build system in mesademos for just cmake 
?

On Mesa there is rationale behind the two different build systems (automake and 
scons), but for mesademos, there's nothing that automake can do that can't be 
made with cmake; both generate makefiles giving a similar experience to 
Linux/Unix developers; cmake is already exclusively used in piglit, so there's 
substantial expertise/familiarity on mesa developers community already; and 
cmake has the advantage over automake of supporting native Windows/MSVC builds. 
  

So I really don't think there's any need for automake on mesademos anymore.

I know mesademo's cmake build system does not yet build some apps/demos, but 
this is some thing that I could easily and gladly fix if we agreed on 
deprecating automake over cmake on mesademos.
