Issue description
CMake could greatly simplify the build system. In the future we could get rid of the very complicated autotools scripts and even generate a project file for Visual Studio for the Windows builds.

Having a simplified build system could lower the entry barrier for people coming to the project, ease future code reorganizations, have cleaner builds where the compiled objects do not land together with the code and get rid of a whole lot of files.

Go to this topic for discussion.
