Addition of a build system generator

[elfring]

I suggest to reuse a higher level build system than your current make file so that powerful checks for software features will become easier.

• CMake
• Autotools

Something I've been meaning to do for a while... are you in a situation where the current build system isn't working?

[elfring]

No.

• Does a tool like "autoscan" show any software dependencies that you find worth for further considerations?
• How do you think about to support more development environments by the reuse of build system generators?

I'm not arguing against the use of such tools - I'm all for it... but currently don't have time to do this. Please feel free to submit patches!

I'm going to leave this issue open so that hopefully I (or someone else) can get around to it.
