The question, as always is, if we "buy" into a different system--- say, CMake---will we end up saving ourselves and our users more time overall? I suspect that with CMake and DART, the answer is "yes". However, like Eric, I just don't have the time to make this happen... and I'm a little reluctant given my previous failed attempt.
Why did your previous attempt fail?
Dart failed to gain traction because the client involves Tcl scripts, and there was a significant resistance to requiring regression testers to have Tcl installed on their systems. With CMake... I don't recall what happened. - Doug
