So in general I'm very happy to accept patches: I'm just not convinced that
another build system is the right step right now. We provide MSVC
project/solution files for Windows and a autotools based build system for
the rest that works quite well. Additionally I understand the current build
system and feel competent to maintain it which I'm not sure I will be with
a cmake based build system.

However if it helps we can surely push build system patches into a branch
which might make it easier for you to keep the patches in sync with the
cppunit development. How does this sound to you?

Regards,
Markus
