+# I think that using CMake would be more palatable if there is also a simple
+# configure wrapper that can be used by people who build distributions. This would
+# mean things like
+#
+# configure CC=XXXX # XXXX in { gcc, clang, tcc } or native platform cc
+# configure --prefix=/path/to/install
+#
+# And the few other current configure options like --with-whiny-user-strftime,
+# --disable-nls, etc. I don't know if we need all the standard configure options,
+# but I do want the ones I've added in configure.ac.

+# Anyone using this script still needs an out-of-source build directory.
+# This script should first check if it was invoked from outside the source directory.
+# Then it shall evaluate all the options and translate the options into CMake variables.
+# Finally the script shall invoke CMake.
