We also took the opportunity to fix quite a few hacks which were associated with the way we built the server and libraries. For example, we no longer build a non-threaded libmysql (also, C/Connector is now a separate project) and we also avoid building certain things twice. Bottom line, the transition to cmake has made the build system somewhat more saner and easy to tweak and has yielded a speed up in build times. Although there is a learning curve, it is worth the effort. We also documented thoroughly how to build with cmake at http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/CMake, so there shouldn't be much surprises.
