How about considering switch to cmake

Hi all, in the past I try to use auto hell and I found it very hard to 
hack, now I'm developing a plugin for kate (KDE advanced editor) and I 
discover the simplicity of cmake. CMake as auto hell is cross platform 
and has a very simple and clean syntax, and the script are not a mix of 
m4 + posix shell + something else but only cmake script. The project 
that swith to cmake are very happy with it. I can help with the portig 
of pgadmin. Let me know if you are interested.

Massimo

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?

Regards, Dave

That's good - you're obviously more experienced with cmake than I, so 
where do we start on a proof of concept? Is that something you can knock 
up fairly easily?
