I was never convinced adding cmake support was a good idea but I allowed
it to get added in April 2009 as there were a bunch of eager advocates
of it at the time. Ever since then, it has remained an inferior way to
build libcurl on probably all platforms since there's just not much
attention given to it, most likely (my guess) because there aren't very
many users of it.
FWIW, we use the cmake build system exclusively for libcurl on Windows.
For other platforms we tend to use the autotools scripts.
The libcurl cmake scripts use cmake in ways that I don't understand very
well, but I do have a local patch I use to build using schannel and
winldap, as well as support targeting Windows Server 2003.
It's probably not general enough to merge as-is (because I don't
completely understand some of the tests that are performed, and have
only used it on Windows) but I'd be happy to share it with someone who
understands them.

Geoff
