I generally like the idea of CMake, and use it for our internal plugins, and
it's pretty trivial to setup CMake up with the core gstreamer library, however
especially on Windows the difficulty arises with building and pulling in plugin
dependencies. ossbuild is a slow-going/stalled effort to especially solve this
dependency issue.

Historically Linux has been the platform most of the core developers focus on,
with only a handful caring for Mac and even less for Windows, and autotools
seems to work quite well for Linux. Also keep in mind that the majority of
GStreamer developers are employees of Collabora (and to a lesser extent
Fluendo), and those two companies are working on a GStreamer SDK, which aims to
make building on all three major platforms much easier, hopefully for plugin
dependencies as well. I imagine once the SDK is released Real Soon Now it will
be "the" solution considering who's backing it.
