potentially using cmake (was: Re: r16624 - gnucash/trunk - Remove the spurious m4/ directory.)

[Nathan Buchanan]

As a general comment:

For what it's worth, I don't think we should ignore cmake simply because
it's new/different/not as widely used yet/etc. I agree that it is all these
things, but that's how major innovations start. And Cmake must have
something going for it because building KDE on linux, windows, and mac is no
trivial task!

I wonder if cmake would make building on a mac easier...I don't know.
