As do the Debian/Ubuntu packaging scripts. I'm sure that they can be
changed to use the cmake build system instead, but someone will have to
do the work.

This issue comes up every once in a while. I'm sure that there are other
LLVM users who prefer autoconf over cmake and therefore appreciate that
LLVM still supports it. Of course, that's a matter of preference and
experience and I can understand that the LLVM developers have better
things to do than supporting two separate build systems. I just wished
that the favoured alternative wasn't cmake. ;-)
