OK, lets put things in perspective. I really don't think we''d be
interested in using a CMake-based build system. We have one of our own
that has pretty much equivalent functionality, and while no-one is
completely happy about it, I really suspect more people would be unhappy
with CMake.
If you were looking at SCons instead, that would be a lot more
interesting; not least because APR-2.0 will most likely have a
SCons-based build system.
