I'm about ready to give this a try... the alternatives are nearly making me
pull my hair out. :-)

Does anyone object if I remove the svn:externals propset in the following
repos and replace them with the latest cmake modules?

	opensync
	osynctool
	file-sync
	google-calendar
	evolution2
	vformat
	xmlformat
	xsltformat

I can do the same work on other plugins if anyone wants me to.

Thanks,
