Well, I maintain the builds in openSUSE. Becauce building the pdfs
requires additional packages, I so far did this in a buildscript.
(Recently added it: scripts: makedist-vym)

Fow now I am going to stick with qmake, as this works well on Linux and
also worked on Mac.

Still I would like to make it easy for others to build on their
favourite system, so I don't mind having CMake tracked in git, as long as I
don't have to really maintain it ;-)

Pushed to master now.
