+- How can I get gawk compiled with CMake as fast as possible ?
+  git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gawk.git
+  cd gawk
+  git checkout cmake
+  mkdir build
+  cd build
+  cmake ..
+  make
+  ./gawk --version
+Notice that this git-checkout allows you to read the source code,
+track the cmake branch and get updates. You will not be able to
+commit anything. http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit
+
+- What is the current status of the cmake branch ?
+It has just begun, pre-alpha, unclear if it will ever be taken up
+by the maintainer. We want to study if using CMake with such a
+basic tool like gawk is feasible and if it easier to use than
+the GNU build system.
+
+- Where can I find a tutorial on CMake basics ?
+Use the "official tutorial":
+  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake_tutorial.html
+
+- Where is the reference of all commands and variables ?
+Depending on the CMake version you use, select one of these:
+  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html
+
+- How can I cross-compile ?
+Proceed in the same way as explained above for native compilation,
+but use a different build directory. When using CMake, do this:
+  cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain_mingw32.cmake ..
+Write a new Toolchain file for your cross-compiler and use it.
