Why do you say that? CMake can generate makefile scripts on Linux as well
and if those generated makefile scripts happen to build Subversion with the
exact same configuration then I would tend to say that CMake is the better
approach since it allows the programmer to choose the tool he or she will be
using to build Subversion (And it's cross platform, unlike make/configure.
And no, cygwin doesn't count).
You, of course, are entitled to your own opinion.

Thanks, I really appreciate the links. However, I meant to imply that I have
no desire to learn about the makefile language on Linux. Why learn it when I
already know CMake? It can generate my makefiles for me, so I don't have to
write them myself.
Would you be so kind as to tell me where the list of include files are in
the makefile scripts?
Thanks again!
