Hi John,

I'd really appreciate this if you could give this a try! I'd imagine
that you might run into some major problems, given the complexity of the
current build system, but if you know cmake well enough then it's
certainly worth to give it a shot. In any case please let us know what
you find. It would be great to break free from autoconf which *is* a
real pita. Maybe it would even be possible to reunite the Mingw and Unix
build systems...

Best,
Albert
