[reSIProcate] dumping autotools and moving to CMake?

[Byron Campen]

     While I do like cmake, it is not a panacea, and there are some sharp
edges. I think it might be illustrative to try writing a cmake build for
rutil/stack (plus tests), and see how much pain we run into. I can give
this a go, since I have some experience with it.

Best regards,
Byron Campen
