Hi Jonathan,

Great work, but out of curiosity wouldn't it be better to use cmake 
instead since we are cross compiling for different platforms?

      In short: no :-)

      A longer answer would be - that all the sensible alternatives,
including CMake were analysed, and Bjorn chose gmake primarily since it
seems to be the only thing that cuts it for the job. I imagine he wrote
upsome analysis somewhere,

Indeed he did:

There were also lots of emails discussing it at dev@openoffice.org
mailing list (archive at
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=dev ).
