[Cmake] Converting autoconf-project to CMake

[Bertram Herzog]

Hello together,

I was using CMake for Wrapping the offis Oldenburg DICOM Toolkit 
(dicom.offis.de) a while ago to Tcl via CABLE. It turned out that CABLE 
could not handle all that needed to be handled (esp. file-stream factory 
design patterns used to encapsulate the file read/write operations from 
the internal DICOM object layer, probably to have openSSL in between). 
However, I want to try the project again using CSWIG this time.
But no matter what, it all needs a solid CMake build configuration first 
to get the libraries of DCMTK to get wrapped.

DCMTK uses the Autoconf configuration and build system. Is there an 
"easier" way of converting to CMake taking into account all the 
configuration command line parameters other than "manual re-development"?

I'd be glad to hear a "yes", or "somehow". Otherwise, I'll start digging 
into it.

Thanks a lot,
   Yours Bertram Herzog

P.S.: Thanks for the CMake System, though! I like it really a lot. 
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy the book from Germany, yet.
