Hi Geoffroy,

Thanks for your work on this. I think that Ian and Andreas will need
to respond with respect to inclusion in the platforms sources. Ian
originated the CMake work and is responsible for anything that might
be included in the unix tree. Andreas is responsible for the Windows
VM and build process, and I don't know if he has a view concerning
use of CMake.
