For developers who use Autocmake

• FAQ for developers
  • Autocmake does not do feature X - I really need feature X and a setup flag –X
  • How can I get a setup flag –X that toggles a CMake variable?
  • Can I change the name of the setup script?
  • In CMake I can do feature X - can I do that also with Autocmake?
  • Should I include and track also files generated by Autocmake in my repository?
  • The update.py script is overwriting my CMakeLists.txt and setup, isn’t this bad?
  • But I need to manually edit and customize CMakeLists.txt and setup every time I run update.py!?
  • Where is a good place to list my sources and targets?
  • How can I do some more sophisticated validation of setup flags?
