This achieves several goals: * Less reliance on scripts so we have better portability to Windows (though we still have a ways to go for proper Windows support). Luajit, luarocks, moonscript, and busted are all installed via CMake now. * Trying to make use of pkg-config to get the correct libraries. The latest libuv is still broken in this regard, but we'll at least be in a position to use it. * Allow the use of Ninja or make. The former runs faster in many environments, and automatically makes use of parallel builds. This also allows for system installed dependencies--though not through the Makefile just yet--and adds support for FreeBSD. This also make us build libuv and luajit as static libraries only, since we're only concerned about having static libraries for our bundled dependencies.

What's this?
Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source
- Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture
For lots more details, see the wiki!
What's been done so far
- Source tree was cleaned up, leaving only files necessary for compilation/testing of the core
- Source files were processed with unifdef to remove tons of
FEAT_*macros - Files were processed with uncrustify to normalize source code formatting
- The autotools build system was replaced by CMake
What's being worked on now
- Porting all IO to libuv
- Lots of refactoring
- A VimL -> Lua transpiler
How do I get it?
There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, and detailed instructions for building on other OSes.
