But the way I see it, it only really makes sense to do that if it can be used for "all" platforms and/or if it can be used to reduce the amount of stuff to install (e.g. in Windows). So unless CMake can be used to make it easier to install Emacs on Windows, I think it'll have to wait until cmake is likely to be installed on most unixy systems. I.e. don't hold your breath. Stefan
