[LLVMdev] Long-Term Support for LLVM Projects Extension to Build System?

[Eric Christopher]

Hi John,

Long term we don't want to keep the burden of two build systems in tree.
CMake is turning out to be the build system we want because of its
multi-platform support, etc and as soon as the CMake system can do
everything we can do with the autoconf/makefile build I plan on turning
down the support for that and removing the code.

Thanks!
