It hasn't really been mentioned, so here I ask:
how do these freezes effect cmake ?
What I'd still like to do:
-merge KDE4_ADD_TEST_EXECUTABLE() into KDE4_ADD_EXECUTABLE(... TEST ...), must
be before 4.0. I hope I can do this this week.
-go through the FindKDE4Internal.cmake and KDE4Macros.cmake and check that
everything's still consistent and we offer a nice cmake interface for KDE.
This can bring up more issues like the one above. E.g. the new
KDE4_ADD_APP_ICON() macro may need renaming.
-KDELibsDependencies.cmake may need some changes (for Windows: no fixed paths,
no "+" in library names)
-maybe some changes may be required for Windows (mainly installation related)
-cleanups where required
The problem is, from september 22nd to october 7th I'll most probably won't
have any internet access because I'll be moving back to Germany. I hope to
have internet access after that, but it may take to november to have full
access again.
Would it be ok to require a newer version than CMake 2.4.5 for Windows ? I
think we should allow this if it may be required.
Ralf, Christian: which version of cmake are you using, is 2.4.5 good enough on
Windows ?

I'm not subscribed to the release mailing list, since I don't feel like part
of the release team, but I think especially for a "KDEDK" release cmake
should be taken into account.
