I don't tink we must stick with the autotools, but a replacement will
have to provide all the current features. I don't know anything about
cmake. Perhaps you could tell a little bit more about what is working
and waht not. How much work it would be to port the current
buildsystem and so on. WOuld it perhaps solve some of the current -
hard to fix - buildsystem issues?

I'm not against changing it, but I don't want a half working
replacement.
