Re: [PATCH 0/8] CMake build system for git

Konstantin Tokarev [off-list ref] writes:

FWIW, CMakeLists.txt doesn't have to be in the root of source tree in
order to work. It can perfectly work from contrib/cmake after necessary
changes in relative paths.

That's great to know---perhaps you can work with Sibi to help
whipping the CMakeLists.txt into shape, placing it in contrib/cmake/
directory?

When that is in place, my answer to Sibi's question, i.e. "what is
the best way to tell users they can use CMake for their Windows
build?" would be "the same way as we advertise contrib/buildsystems
and/or compat/vcbuild to them", I think.

Thanks.
