[Python-ideas] Cmake as build system

[Ryan Gonzalez]

HAHAHA!!

Good luck! I've raised this issue before. Twice. Autotools sucks. And makes
cross-compiling a pain in the neck. Bottom line was:

- C++ is a big dependency
- The autotools build system has been tested already on lots and lots and
lots of platforms
- Nobody has even implemented an alternative build system for Python 3 yet
(python-cmake is only for Python 2)
- No one can agree on a best build system (for instance, I hate CMake!)

[ERROR]: Your autotools build scripts are 200 lines longer than your
program. Something’s wrong.
