but at this juncture I have to.  KUDOS!!!! to everyone involved in the efforts so far ( yes I know it isn't over ) in the migration to CMAKE.  I hated that thing (cmake) because I could never find the directives I needed.  I've been a UNIX/Solaris/AIX/Linux/*BSD developer, professionally for almost a quarter of a century.  I grew very comfortable with 'make', writing my own makefiles and supporting scriptwerk, understanding the difference between 'make', and 'gmake' and so on.....

I was initially opposed to the idea of the change at first but also had to concede that GNU build tools have been sorely broken and out-of-date (platform-dependent statement) for some time.  It was your efforts in this migration that forced me to do something I've always known how to do:   LEARN!

Y'alll did a great job (so far) with writing about what you're doing.  But between the documentation, cmake-gui and a little effort to "step outside the circle", I'm still alive and have a new appreciation for something I once grew to hate.  (CMake, Ninja, etc)

Thanks so much y'all!  I owe you all BIG TIME!
