[gdal-dev] About CMake build again

[Dmitry Baryshnikov]

Hi Mateusz,

If really "there is no plan or even will for such switch in GDAL" I 
think nothing to discuss here.

The ticket #7080 should be closed and let's continue to live with 
current developing approach.

Which solution, my or Hiroshi, will more popular show the time.

Best regards,
     Dmitry
