[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | add cmake (!1908)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

> This PR use the autoconf build system to compile. Because it needed the headers that it create. For not using the header the code will needed to change. This is not aim this PR and the follow. Only when the new build system will be large enough to replace autoconf, we can consider to change the code for that.

This is *exactly* why even considering to change the build system is a complicated issue that needs real discussion. Requiring *both* autoconf and cmake to build is, IMHO, unacceptable and a total nonstarter.

The actual hard part of a port to another build system is when you try to remove those assumptions. This MR doesn't contain anything reviewable, to be perfectly honest. All it has is the boilerplate that could be written in a few minutes if the GnuTLS developers eventually wanted to commit to using cmake.
