Sorry, but hard disagree once more. When I have the choice between
cmake and the unmaintained legacy build system, I will always choose a
build with cmake. Build systems bit-rot quickly, and I have zero
interest in deviating from the thing that upstream recommends and
eternally fixing it.

What's more, when you send bug reports upstream, they tend to ignore
you if you use any other build system than the standard. And I cannot
blame them.
