I'm not trying to block it. I've subscribed to the list for the
purpose of asking
about the missing flags in cmake support. I've been using cmake for over
a year, so I never saw the message myself. As I said, I'm all for a single
system in place. That will make documenation easier and asking about
build issues as well. Nobody will tell me to use autoconf instead :).

I take it --enable-bindings will be ported at some point, maybe before
3.8 is released.
