Hi,

Adam Treat (treat at kde.org) suggested that I join this list to talk about 
CMake as an option for a unified cross platform build solution.  My name 
is Bill Hoffman.  I am the lead CMake developer.  My company Kitware 
created and supports CMake.  I think CMake would have a lot to offer the 
WebKit developers.

If you are not familiar with CMake, I did a google tech talk in December 
which can be found here:

Another article about how KDE switched to CMake can be found here:
"Why the KDE project switched to CMake -- and how"
http://lwn.net/Articles/188693/

If you are interested in moving to CMake, I would be interested in 
helping.  If you have any questions about CMake, fire away!

Thanks.

-Bill
