Possibly. But CMake makes Robert's and the other developers' lives  
easier. It'll be up to them if they want to do away with it, given  
your arguments...

I don't think it *is* optional... I'm no CMake expert, but I use it  
for some of my own projects and I didn't even do anything special and  
there are BUILD_ALL and INSTALL projects. I'll have to defer to  
someone more familiar to CMake than I am for an answer here, but I  
think that also comes with the territory.

Sorry...
