Hi all,

1. Agreed for autoconf + CMake (not more because of maintenance). As a side note: No matter which build system we support until the build is easy on all platforms.
2. Agreed to merge the current CMake scripts and do the CVS stuff. I did not have the time to merge yet (I'm ill...), but I'll do it ASAP.

See you!
