I agree, the buildsystem should not be a limitation,
and no one should ever have to modify files in
anything but Makefile.am as the code is changing.

I am a little bit surprized: why are KDE developers
suddenly so eager to use other platforms than the
existing ones ?

Agreed. If you do, there should be a frozen kde4
version to use (which is guaranteed to compile)
otherwise the deadline will not hold. It would be a
good idea too to set as an objective for the deadline
that the system actually configures, compiles,
installs and uninstalls everything - at least on Unix.

Be it cmake or bksys/scons, the scripts are more or
less exchangeable anyway - nothing is lost.

Concerning bksys/scons i have no home internet
connection so though i cannot upload anything i am
still preparing things behind the scenes :-)
