[CMake] Converting from autoconf to cmake problem

[mina adel]

I think that would be a good idea to implement AC_* macros as CMAK_* macros.

it will really help

Thank you

CMake does not provide replacements for all the specific AC_* tests,
although in most cases the functionality can be created with what it
does provide.

I'm having to do a fair bit of this kind of AC_* function re-creation
for Tcl, and had to do a bit for BRL-CAD as well - I imagine as more
autoconf projects are converted this will just continue to crop up.

CMake devs - would there be interest in maintaining some kind of
autotools-compat.cmake file where these tests could be re-implemented
as CMAKE_* macros instead of AC_* functions?  (Or, if the
functionality is defined in some other way, document that in a
comment.) I have a feeling a lot of people are having to do this, and
it would probably make sense to pool that effort.
