FWIW, we use the cmake build system exclusively for libcurl on Windows.

For other platforms we tend to use the autotools scripts.

The libcurl cmake scripts use cmake in ways that I don't understand very
well, but I do have a local patch I use to build using schannel and
winldap, as well as support targeting Windows Server 2003.

It's probably not general enough to merge as-is (because I don't
completely understand some of the tests that are performed, and have
only used it on Windows) but I'd be happy to share it with someone who
understands them.

Geoff
