You are mistaken. We do not require using the autotools. I _never_ call
"./configure" yet the Makefile magically works. Cool, huh?
But here's a clue: you will probably _never_ succeed in getting a
replacement of the make-based build in git.git by the maintainer. Make is
just too ubiquitous and well-established for that.
Having said that, a CMake-based system _in addition_ to what is
tried-and-tested to be able to support all those different kinds of
Microsoft Visual Studio (took me 3 attempts to write that without a
Freudian) would be welcome, _if_ you succeed in making it compile out of
the box on msysGit.
By out-of-the-box I mean: you send a patch that adds
/src/cmake/release.sh, I apply the patch (after briefly scanning that it
does not install a backdoor on a machine that is not even mine, and
therefore will never see even a single of my passwords typed in), run it,
it compiles installs and commits cmake and cmake works.
If that's not possible, I refuse to add another problem rather than
solving one.
If you succeed, I will ask you to do the same for Python, as you clearly
proved by that point that you are a magician.
Ciao,
Dscho
