Hi Benjamin,<br>
<br>
No huge objections from our side. As you have already seen, I have<br>
anyways not been able to keep the build systems in synch due to lack<br>
of time.<br>
<br>
Regarding the completeness of CMake I am not sure if I know what you<br>
mean but then I am also not really an Autotools specialist.<br>
<br>
I understand your reasoning for dropping VC support but it will make<br>
contributions and bug fixes for Windows users much more difficult<br>
because MSVC is the most widely used and user friendly IDE on Windows<br>
(the latter is just my personal opinion). We would have never been<br>
able to make our contributions to OpenSlide with a pure cygwin build<br>
to due to involved debugging which was required.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Hauke<br>
