I don't think that's the only reason we are having that discussion ;-)
But..

Perhaps I should have been more clear at that time :-\ I wasn't trying to
exclude the latter part of the statement I quoted. I was trying to clarify
that it's a requirement to have build/CMakeLists.txt (or build/makefile, or
build/vs2012.prj, or build/SConstruct, etc) as opposed to a recommendation.
Which I think I made clear at some point in the conversation currently in
question.
