I agree -- Radim points out the reality of multiple build systems  
unless there is a champion for each that keeps it up to date with  
potentially each commit.

I'm not opposed to cmake, assuming we are sure it meets our needs.  
The fact that KDE 4 is using it probably means something.

I'll add this topic to our "post-0.8" TODO for the PSC.
