Comment(by robe):

 For reference mloskot has put in a lot of effort into this move

 https://github.com/mloskot/postgis/tree/cmake-build


 So we really should start giving it a go: Excerpt from email between Mat,
 Dave Page, and other poor saps I dragged  into this conversation.

 FYI, I've done another round of updating cmake-build branch with changes
 from svn-trunk, looks I had to do proper git merge:
 https://github.com/mloskot/postgis/tree/cmake-build

 Also added some small improvements for postgis_svn_revision.sh.

 Unfortunately, postgis.sql.in.c and friends have been changed to w/o .c
 and seems like new processing is now required - no idea what's new there.
 This means, the custom preprocessing commands need to be reviewed.
 If I have time, I will give it a go, but ATM I've got too much on plate.

 Best regards,
