I have totally no interest in investing into Windows license and
finding out how to use totally free MSVC.

Generally CMake works perfectly for compiling on Windows. There are
other projects using it (KDE, Blender, SIM to make some known project
that come to my mind) and they work and can be compiled on Windows.

However I admit that there are some minor issues in Gammu right now.
They can be easily fixed if some developer would be interested. I can
help with fixing it (check bug tracker for issues reported by Pavel
Kostromitinov), but I need somebody who can test it.

Please also note that most of Windows users (if not all) are interested
in binaries. And I still produce binaries for Windows. The major
difference for me compared to old build system is that I can do it
without using Windows.

Design document should be created prior to any coding. It makes no
sense to make it afterward.

I don't want to persuade you for anything else, but you can sell GPL
software without problems and I'm not going to spend my free time on
anything that could be closed source.

Yes, I'm in Japan right now...
