I did briefly look at cmake a while back. *If* we are to switch to a new 
build system, I'm looking for something that can generate Makefiles that 
will work with gmake and ideally Sun's make (for building with 
SunStudio) as well, as well as VC++ 2005 and Xcode project files. From 
what I recall, cmake fell down on the Xcode support. Has that changed now?
