My thinking on cmake devolves to this; it (almost) creates entirely
usable nmake files for simplistic windows builds with no target
platform knowledge, from either unix or windows.  For those on GUI,
it futher creates most any studio environment project files.  And it
has good solutions for unix platforms as well.  An scons user is most
welcome to speak to these points.

I don't think we are discussing 'dropping' autoconf at this point,
since most platforms need the 'tool' (scons or cmake) installed
to solve their build.  But compared to endlessly downloading
autoconf gunk, and the vargarities between released autoconf 
versions and their resulting configure scripts, the simplicity 
of scons or cmake is very appealing in the long haul.

I managed to miss that hackathon. But I would gladly help if we decided
to add a cmake build. And I prefer cmake over SCons simply because it
appears to be a lot more mature; I've looked at SCons several times in
the past and got the feeling that for any kind of realistic
cross-platform build, one would have to invent a lot of what autoconf
(and cmake) already have.

As has been pointed out, this was last updated with 1.3.x.

In each successive 1.x release, some old and crusty maintainer
must crawl out of the woodwork to deliver newly exported .mak
(not .make) files for win32 based on the files we have added or
deleted from the new version-minor.  Or patch them by hand (prone
to error and a PITA).

I'd generally been unavailable and Gregg is new to this role, and
realistically it should end, now.

The right solution is to export them using the (portable) scons or
cmake.  My own preference is cmake, which I've worked on quite a bit
in the past couple years.  Paul introduced a partial scons solution
to the trunk of the apr build schema.

We chatted a bit about this at hackathon in Portland, but I'd love
a show of hands of apr project members, who would be actively willing
to foster the existing scons solution, and who is actively interested
in maintaining a new cmake solution, if offered?
