CMake build system

[Michael Wild]

Hi all

In case anybody here is interested, I ported gtkaml to the CMake build
system for my own purposes. You can have a look at it here:
http://git.wildcodes.com/cgit.cgi/gtkaml/. Of course, everything is
under the same license as gtkaml...

Cheers

Thanks Michael, I am happy to see CMake is now able to compile Vala sources and, with your help, gtkaml itself.
With your permission I will include the CMake scripts in the source tree too (side by side with the autotools stuff). This could also be interesting because it may enable building for windows with the 'more native' MSVC compiler (autotools now works in msys/mingw or cygwin).

Great to hear you like it. I just pushed another set of changes which install files that make it simpler for other projects to use gtkaml with CMake. I don't see why things shouldn't work with native Windows tools.

I also added a patch that adds the PACKAGE_DATADIR/implicits to the end implicits search path. In the logs I see that this has been removed in r229 in favor of using Environment.get_system_data_dirs() which uses the XDG Base Directory Specification. But I still think that gtkaml should search in the installation directory, in case the user doesn't install the implicits in a place that is covered by the XDG specification.
