I assume that Pierre was referring to the Windows dependency libraries.

Anyhow, I suggest to defer the Windows support; it appears to be more
important to have a CMake based build system working for other platforms
first, and then we can still figure out how to make that useable on
Windows, too.  In other words, eating the elephpant one bite at a time. :)
