May be the current Unix build system (configure, make) would also be OK
on Windows with the Cygwin/MingGW couple ?

As for CMake, you're right, it's a powerfull build system, and far more 
multi-platform than we need ... but there would be some work to switch !
And I'm not sure this is the real priority now ...

Anyway, to be back on the Windows VC 6 build, I'm pretty sure we'll have
at least to come to use multi-threaded DLL run-time lib one day,
and may be the SDL port will be the trigger.
And for sure, there will be no other choice for the internet gaming project ...

Regards,

Jean-Philippe.
