First of all, great work on all of this Jamie. It's a gigantic
undertaking and will be much appreciated by the Amber community for a
long time I'm certain.

I would like to err on the side of caution here and advocate that we
still support the old configure method alongside cmake for at least
the next release. I think that no matter how much testing we do there
is still a good chance that there will be some lurking bugs given the
size and complexity of the Amber install. In addition there are some
small hurdles to using cmake with Amber (like the minimum version
requirement) that may not seem problematic to us but could cause
issues for some users.
The old configure method could be enabled by doing something like
'./configure --old-method ...' or something, but it should be there
and it should work.
