cmake

[Thomas Zander]

FYI;
for every one that, like me, is missing unsermake. I wrote some bugreports 
stating the missing features that impact me.

* Normal unix command line parsing fails.
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3293

* Allow compiles concurrent, but not linking.
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3316

* Provide percentage output
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3315

* Provide target for making+installing a single library
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3348

* Installing should not install unchanged files
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3349

Last, not a bugreport as such, but a thread on the ML to provide more 
user-friendly arguments to the cmake commandline so users can type 'cmake 
--prefix' for example.
Lets hope that one gets into cmake before we make a release; I'd hate to 
answer all those user-requests on how to change the installation dir :-(

I also learned that cmake is in its core nothing but a makefile-generator. 
This means that it might be a good idea to resurrect unsermake to 
sidesteps all of the design flaws cmake has (like being dogslow on big 
trees).  Any takers? :-)
