Wow, that's awesome!

Do you guys have any write-ups on what it took to do the transition?  It might 
help us understand CMake better when/if we ever want to transition anything 
else to CMake.

After internal discussions, we decided to accelerate the removal of  
the autotools build. I have just removed it [1]. WebKit now has three  
build systems, which means we have shed five build systems in a little  
over a year.
