Automake only works with GNU make, nothing else. And far from being 
called perfect (no solution is that currently) unless you deny all the 
criticism about it. But thanks for calling me clueless and lazy :-(
"Doing CMake" in my case means being able to use cl+nmake from the same 
configuration files that work with gcc+gmake. I have a description at 
hand that uses the latter solution on Win32 (including mingw + msys + 
lots of other stuff to get it to work to some degree) but using 
./configure, there, is rather a PITA then a good solution (if you ever 
used that you would know that).

I have nothing against moving to git (except that it pins you to the 
presence of /bin/sh and thus to MSys or Cygwin on win32). It does not 
even conflict with using CMake. Just as it is possible to let the 
current autoconf/automake files coexist with the CMake files. You 
maintain the one, me the other? Sounds ok to me.
