Hello all, I wanted to thank everyone who participated in the CMakeLists.txt and related threads. I'm sorry I wasn't able to participate all the way through, but I found the majority of the posts to be civil and constructive (some of my own heated posts being notable exceptions). Here is my take away. No one is arguing that the current guidelines disallow authors from placing a CMakeLists.txt in the root of their library's directory. Some pointed out drawbacks of placing them there and recommended 'build/' or 'CMake/' instead. Others saw value in having CMakeLists.txt in the root directory, but felt these should be short wrappers where the real work is done in the 'build/' directory. Louis and Paul, I know you felt it important for your gitHub distribution to have 'CMakeLists.txt' in the root directory as is typical for CMake projects. Does this result satisfy your concerns? -- David Sankel
