To be honest, I really want someone else to take responsibility for 
this.  I feel like if I don't push for other people getting involved 
with CMake and related technologies, I'm going to get stuck doing 
everything, and in the real world I simply won't do it / can't do it.  
I've been working on this build stuff for 9 months and haven't written a 
lick of OpenGL code.  I really want to move on.  Also remember, I'm dirt 
poor, I need a job, I'm about to overdraft my bank account to pay rent.  
I can't afford the kind of attention I've been giving anymore, and even 
that is not enough it seems.  I'm happy to keep stewarding and improving 
the build, but I really don't want to do the heavy lifting on test 
stuff.  I think it's time for there to be more than 1 person with 
"serious buy-in" to CMake paradigms.  I mean, what if I get hit by a 
truck?  Well, you've got the source, but I think the interest would 
languish.
