CMake!

I'm really interested in this project for some personal stuff I'm doing, but I think it would make the project more accessible if it used CMake instead of interfacing directly with Autotools. You might also leverage some free portability, too, as CMake emits VS and XCode projects, all from one configuration.

Sure, want to build it? :) HHVM uses CMake, and fbthrift and folly may switch over soon too. We're open to the idea, but we don't have resources to allocate to the switch right now.

I might do it :) Work is somewhat busy atm, but i'll definitely give it a look. CMake is a pretty straightforward tool to use when you know exactly how you want to do your build and even easier if you have a working automake example.

Work is slightly crazy at the moment but when some time frees up I'd consider this a good usage of my time :)

CMake does not support convenience libs so all the libs get fragmented unless we consider one of the libs as a part of the main source... anywho if anyone is interested I have /libs working with cmake (install has to be manually) https://github.com/abhiguru/proxygen/commit/cf7ad1e303db3d3660dbf457d22f9757b5b65d46
