CppUnit CMake build system

[Bernhard Seßler]

Hi @cppunit developers / users,

I'm currently working on replacing the autoconf build system and the MSVC
solutions used by cppunit with a CMake based build system. Currently it
successfully builds the libraries on Windows and Linux - using the GCC, MSVC and
Borland C++ compilers. I started this "project" in order to be able to _easily_
build cppunit on different platforms with a variety of compilers, as my company
is using it for testing different projects.

All I wanted to know know now is whether there's official interest in getting
this (IMHO quite drastic) change mainline. If so, I would clean up my CMake
branch (and the work I've done so far) and post patches on this ML. Please also
that in its current state merely the library itself is built and installed, I've
not yet started working on the examples and platform specific test runners. But
it's on my roadmap to integrate these, too. The next step would therefore be to
get the msvc6 related stuff working as well as porting the qttestrunner module
to Qt4 and Qt5. (it's still based on Qt3).

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
