Me too. The whole purpose of master ist that it is the *development* branch. Of course we should
try to make sure that master always works, but I thought we all agreed in Berlin that the cmake support
was pretty much done and stable. So we *need* to get it into master and have it run by more people to
find and iron out any remaining bugs.
