[LLVMdev] is configure+make dead yet?

[Evandro Menezes]

FWIW, I felt some pain moving from autoconf to cmake.  However, once I 
got familiar with controlling camke a little better and editing 
CMakeLists.txt, the comfort grew and I came to appreciate its advantages 
over autoconf.  CMakeLists.txt are far easier to create and to maintain 
and I wouldn't really mind if autoconf would be deprecated here.  I 
understand that the transition would be perhaps painful to many and at 
the same time, but, except for any particular situations that cmake 
doesn't cover, I think that it would be for the better.
