I still don't understand. Fabio quoted the README of gtest, which says:

"""
The Autotools build script (configure + make) is no longer officially
supportted.  You are encouraged to migrate to your own build system or
use CMake.
"""

So why moving from using the supported CMake to the no-longer supported
autotools build system would be an improvement?

This really needs more explanations.
