-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CMake scripts are experimental. Use them only if you're prepared to fix them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exiv2 uses cmake, a cross-platform build system, to control the
compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent
configuration files.

The old make and MSVC build files are currently still around but are
considered deprecated in the unstable branch. They will disappear once
the cmake build process is feature-complete, stable and documented. Or
maybe earlier to force me to get there.

Further TODOs:

  * Rename configuration settings to EXIV2_*, e.g., EXIV2_ENABLE_SHARED
  * Two cmake projects: 1) exiv2 2) samples, common config in config/
  * Is it possible to not have CMakeLists.txt file in the top dir?
  * --disable-visibility
  * cross-compilation
  * Release build and packaging scripts
  * emacs M-c command to (re-)compile
