<br>
These kind of questions are always makes me wonder if it would somehow<br>
be possible to persuade COIN-OR people to abandon autotools in favor of<br>
CMAKE as a build environment. Not only is it incomparable easier to use<br>
and maintain, but also it makes installer creation and<br>
multiplatfom/multicompiler support a trivial task.<br>
<br>
Not to mention that the lack of CMAKE support makes it basically<br>
impossible to integrate the source of CMAKE to other projects. This<br>
single fact forced us using another (worse performing) solver in many<br>
projects.<br>
