Hi, I'm releasing an update of ELSE but I now have a whole new build system with cmake,

And I need help compiling it for Linux and Windows.
I wonder what features you need from your build system that cannot be satisfied by pd-lib-builder. ELSE is being built for different Pd backends (vanilla, plug data,...) and I figure that was part of the motivation (and my gut feeling tries to tell me, that there's also a "'make' is from the past century, everybody uses 'cmake'" by whoever wrote the new build system, but that is mere conjecture).
In any case I would be interested in the motivation for switching a relatively simple library like ELSE.
(I can think of one good reason, but free people seem to need it)
By the way, building for double precision Pd is now possible
As a packager I found it super simple to add double precision builds to dozens of pd-lib-builder based externals without needing to touch their build system at all. So why was that complicated/impossible for ELSE?
