not working on something which has elaborate makefiles, it was rather

Maybe the aim you want to achieve -- making it easier for new users to
do simple things regarding the build system -- could better be achieved

integrating related features into cmake support?<br></blockquote></div><div>Yes, that's what I had in mind.<br></div>(Generating plain Makefiles actually, but close enough) </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
