The world is changing and cmake is becoming very fast the standard. Many projects have switched to it. One of the major advantage is that it works under windows out of the box... I'm saying that all the more that I used to be an autotools convinced guy (and not very statisfied by cmake some time ago), but cmake is progressing rapidly. As said above quite a few opensource projects adopted it and it is taken into account in many distro build system. I can't believe I'm saying that, but it's true... All the best, Theo.
