@Daniel Rossberg Do we still need the make.vbs and BrlcadConfig.tmpl files in include/conf ?

Probably not. The old brlcad.dll was removed and I couldn't find any other place where these are used.

For that matter, do we still need brlcad-config? With the new CMake approach, about the only utility I can see is having it tell a build what root variable values to use so find_package works correctly...

Probably not as critical as it used to be, and with the prevalence of pkg-config and came as alternatives. Back in the day, every major app shipped a -config.

I'll go ahead and simplify then - brlcad-config never properly made the transition from autotools to CMake, so it's been busted a long time now.

I feel like I tested it years and years ago after the cmake migration, and it was working then, but probably best if it goes regardless.
