I am sure it is - it is just a lot of work, specially if you want to
stay compatible with distutils-built extensions :)

Compilation options. If you build an extension with distutils, the
extension is built with the same flags as the ones used by python, the
options are taken from distutils.sysconfig (except for MS compilers,

Yes, people will still need general computation in their

they're using supports it or not

I'm familiar with the Unix and the Windows build system. More than a
year ago I went to a great deal of work to migrate the Windows builds
from VS 7.1 to VS 9.0.

I have looked at a couple of build tools (scons was probably one)
that generate Visual Studio project files in the past and they
produced fairly poor project files,

CMake is written in C++. IIRC, that's the only dependency.

I can only give uninformed information (!) here, but in one company I worked
with, the main project decided to switch from scons to cmake due to some huge
performance problems in scons. This was in 2005
