[opensource-dev] Tools of the trade.

[Brad Kittenbrink (Brad Linden)]

Funny, but no. It has been said that cmake is the worst IDE build system
generator except all those others that have been tried.

We are gonna try to ditch develop.py though.  And we're gonna start
publishing the way we build all third party libs for the viewer.  We should
be ready to show it off and talk about it in detail RealSoonNow.
