As I understand it, CMake is an alternative to the Gnu autoconf/automake 
tools.  I heard about it because KDE is going to be using it in their build 
system.  I use KDevelop to work on Tuxmath, and the next major version of 
KDevelop will have much more support for CMake, so I basically tabled any 
further investigation of CMake until that time.  I think it would mean that 
we would do something other than "make && sudo make install" to build and 
install Tuxmath.

My main obstacle in building Tuxmath on Windows has been getting SDL_image set 
up properly.  The main SDL lib and SDL_mixer build and install "out of the 
box" with either Cygwin or MinGW, but so far I am stumped with SDL_image.
