I assure you, should they not submit to mandatory CMake conversion of their
trunks, it will be death by a thousand patches! =)

Just kidding obviously.  Like I said, I think it's a tertiary goal.  =)
We'll probably send some friendly emails telling them what we did in the
hopes that someone is interested in merging the work or at least using it as
a baseline for something better.  I think every new release of MSVC pretty
much makes CMake adoption more and more likely.  Their conversion to the
dark side is nearly complete. muahahaha. =)
