[reSIProcate] dumping autotools and moving to CMake?



I understand that autotools may not have been the best choice for
keeping the UNIX and Windows builds in sync with the least amount of effort.

Despite only having introduced the autotools stuff before the 1.8
release, I'm not going to be offended if people want to dump it in favor
of CMake or possibly gyp or something else.

I can't commit to work on such a migration myself but I have documented
what would be involved:

   https://www.resiprocate.org/CMake_Evaluation

The evaluation steps are quite trivial and involve converting some of
the standalone/sample projects, e.g. sipdial from the apps directory or
reConServer, so everybody can try these and get a feel for CMake on a
smaller scale.

This could potentially be offered as a GSoC project this year and
completed by a student, they would also spend some time documenting it
as they go and maybe pushing things a little bit further for the Android
builds and other related work.
