I think that if we do move to CMake then we should try and keep one 
build system across all OSs. Hence we shall need CMake to generate MSVC 
project files under Windows and PGXS-compatible Makefiles for all other 
OSs. Anyone know if this is possible? (I know that CMake got a lot of 
love from the KDE guys and so probably has a lot more functionality than 
last time when we looked at this).


ATB,
