Hehe, sure that's the only thing I don't like either BUT, as you can have
cmake-gui or the other text based configurator it starts to be much better.

I'm no CMake expert but I really doubt that it's very powerful imo
this sentence must be true if the user don't actually know how to
translate Automake -> cmake.

Nice, I have already started the port to CMake some time ago,
it almost builds packagekit-glib2, I'll try to work on that tomorrow since
pk-glib is the most complicated part because of the marchal generator.

Best.
