I already tested CMake with CDBS for the packaging of CSound, so that 
switch should be easy.  I cannot easily debug it, however, so will need 
to rely on others here on the list if I run into trouble.

But CMake support was finalized after the 0.22.1 release, right?

I understand that you intend to do next official release within the next 
couple of weeks. Please consider doing a prerelease tarball today, then 
I can start working from a codebase with working CMake support.

Yes, I could also do test builds on a loose dump of bleeding edge code 
from CVS until you are ready to do the final release, but it is slower 
for me to work that way, and it seems to me that tarballs are not 
entirely equal to the CVS contents (there's quite a difference between 
the commit on may 10th titled "version 0.22-1" and the tarball).

Also, my packaging work might reveal quirks in the code that could be 
nice to get fixed before that next release ;-)
