And I'm unimpressed by your continuous attempts to be insulting.

*I* am on my own? For christ's sake, do you think I can't live without the
cmake build? Brandon, *you* put the work into it. You did a rather splendid
job and showed that you are actually more than just someone getting
kicked around on USENET. It's *your* work that goes down the drain, not
mine. It's not my credibility that is at stake here.

Anyway, I'm fed up with the whole build situation anyway. A new build
is in the works, one that is dumb and transparent and one that everybody
can understand and maintain. No politics, no fragile dependencies. No
endless discussions.


Good luck to *YOU*, Brandon.
