Ok, thanks for clarifying. So I conclude that most of the complaints
raised on Remi's page are still valid.

No, but you offered this as an option, and Chris said that the LLVM
developers only want to support one build system and would be happy to
get rid of autoconf et al, which is perfectly understandable. What I
said is that cmake also has its shortcomings which need to be taken into
consideration before taking such a step, that's all.
