[CMake] Announcing CMake BASIS, a set of CMake based project interoperability and automation tools

There seems to be some mailing list problems going on (maybe Andrew didn't 
subscribe before posting... :/ Always subscribe to a mailing list before 
posting...), and my reply was rejected.

Breaking threading to respond.

Yes, I expect so too, actually.

I don't think there's a good entry point for this.

 http://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Epics/CMake

tracks some of the changes.

 http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdelibs.git&a=commitdiff&h=41986d0829d2

and

 http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdelibs.git&a=commitdiff&h=1fe778bca

and other commits removed reasons for kde4_add_library to exist.

When there is a new release from the master branch, the sphinx docs will 
show up there.

Thanks,
