Yes, I think I was looking at it at the same time and I came up with the
same conclusion.  I learned autotools faster than I learned CMake due to
the horrid documentation on CMake's part.  It's powerful, but I couldn't
really get anywhere with it.  Plus it doesn't have the nice configure &&
make && make install methodology that I so liked.
