As discussed on #telepathy, we seem to have some divergence regarding 
cmake usage.
Some people believe that if we change tp-qt4 to cmake, we should change 
all other tp projects using autotools as well. I believe as a long term, 
this is a right solution, but as a mid term we should change only tp-qt4.
Reasons:
- Most qt related projects uses cmake, so this is the de-facto standard 
for qt projects
- Make it easy to build on Windows (this is also valid for other projects)
- Changing tp-qt4 first, we will be able to find any problem related to 
cmake usage and fix it before changing other projects
- Learning curve, for those who don't know cmake yet, they could look at 
how tp-qt4 cmake is done

Basically that's it,

What do you guys think?
