+      </dt>
+      <dd>
+          After having used Autoconf as the configuration and build system
+         since the beginning of deal.II in 1997, we have now switch to
+         <a href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a>. This implementation,
+         contributed by Matthias Maier of Heidelberg University, has taken
+         more than half a year, consists of more than 10,000 lines, and
+         touches every aspect of the installation process. It provides a more
+         modern interface to and more reliable way of interacting with other
+         packages. Furthermore, it no longer relies on shell scripts and
+         therefore integrates more easily with integrated development
+         environments as well as Microsoft Windows without Cygwin.
