[Bf-committers] New Developer Meeting minutes

[Erwin Coumans]

cmake can create msvc and xcode projectfiles.
scons cannot do this, and seems slower incremental builds (according to
Campbell).

This justifies fixing any remaining issues with cmake/CMakeLists.txt files I
think.

If you don't get to this, I'll have a look at it in a little while (have to
wrap up Bullet 2.76 first)
Thanks,
Erwin
