I'm still unclear on the reason why we need to do this? bobs build tool works great...Whats the improvement moving from that to cmake?

Having two parallel build systems means that people using one system will tend to break the one they don't use. Having only one means that such breakage will be uncommon (e.g. only when somebody checked in non-portable code or forgot to check whether it compiles at all). What I'm saying is that we should either remove the CMake system or move to it entirely and remove the autotools system.
