So should I be committing what I have to the trunk. I can put some  
cmake code in the top level CMakeLists.txt file that will abort the  
cmake run unless a developer manually edits the CMakeList.txt with an  
explanation that the cmake build system is unstable and should not be  
used yet. Would that satisfy everyone?
