What is CMake? A replacement for generating makefiles with automake,  
or a whole new make derivative?

I don't know why it would. You'd have to test that you're using gcc  
as a compiler and that it supports the -F and -framework options. I  
suppose someone could have wrapped that up into a m4 macro for use  
with autoconf...

libtool did not play well with my attempt to build chicken as a  
universal.  I deeply detest libtool. I'd rather make an Xcode project  
for the chicken source than fight it --  and an Xcode project has the  
side benefit of making it easier to come up with a chicken framework  
for all the runtime libraries.
