Albert,

Some points you mention on your web page are solved. Others are not
applicable to LLVM. Others can be fixed within CMake itself (with some
effort, of course). I lack the knowledge to judge the points you raise
about distribution, package creation, etc. Finally, IMHO your concers
about CMake not preserving as many [autotools] feautures as [it] can,
does not apply to LLVM, at least as there is someone who vounteers to do
the replication work :-)

Please, some LLVM release manager (Tanya?), read Albert's web page and
evaluate how much impact have the issues he raises on your work.
