[x264-devel] cmake based build system for x264?

Hi BugMaster,

by native I meant windows native tools like visual studio. I believe 
that cmake is more light-weight than msys/mingw et al. Simply because, 
the package management of msys or mingw offers much more freedom to have 
an ill-posed setup that DOES NOT build x264 than just cmake and 
Microsoft Visual Studio. I simply see less layers of complexity. That's 
why I think cmake is a good option. I also invested sometime getting the 
configure file running with msys2. But without any luck. I also tried 
xcompiling with mingw from linux, but those binaries were not picked up 
by ffmpeg (which I actually need in my project). I am hoping for the 
better with cmake.

Best,
Peter
