The problem does indeed sound too complex for my needs, as you've
emphasized. I'm creating my own open source project which depends on the
Subversion library, and the subversion library has dependencies on APR,
Neon, and several other libraries. It's a big complex tree of dependencies
that I'm not sure how to handle. I'm new to open source projects so some
advice here might be helpful. At this point I'm getting a bit off topic so I
do apologize for that. My first thought on solving this problem, as you've
seen, is to try to use CMake to build everything. However now it seems like
a pretty bad idea.
