Did you know that curl already has an autobuild system? The build
results are at http://curl.haxx.se/auto and people can run their
builds with the curl/tests/testcurl.pl script. I have a cron job set
up to run a build of cvs HEAD every day which gets mailed to the
server. It's really easy.

It seems that it would be a lot of work to migrate to a new VCS and
build system for no real benefit. Arguments about which VCS or build
system is best can provoke religious wars as bad as Mac/PC and vi/
emacs. :) For instance, I'm quite comfortable with GNU autotools, but
some bad experiences have caused me to hate CMake with a burning
passion comparable to a supernova. But that's just me. :)
