I was one of the people you directed to the SVN repository.  I just 
didn't know what to do with it. I saw SConstruct files that I didn't 
understand.

When LL updates their VS2003 project files, I could see no easy path to 
update the SConstruct files.

I know nothing about CMake either, but the advantage I see is that it 
should be easy to merge LL changes to internal CMakeList files into open 
source CMakeList files.  And since Bryan says that one set of CMakeList 
files should work for both internal and open source builds, even that 
shouldn't be necessary.

So don't think I'm ungrateful for the SCons work you did.  It's just 
that I'm too dumb to figure it out. :(
