CMake support is now far more stable and supported, and should be
preferred. Caveats around CMake usage have been removed, and replaced
with recommendations to use it instead. CMake has been listed first in
the instructions to compile from source accordingly.
I followed the instructions to build with CMake on Windows, but cmake complains about missing Python interpreter.
Installation Python 2.7.x solved the issue.
```
C:\Data\Git\GitHub\foundationdb\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=C:\Users\chevalier\Downloads\boost_1_67_0\boost_1_67_0 c:\data\git\github\foundationdb

When testing on windows, cmake seems to have trouble with ASM compiler if it is
specified as the first language:
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/boost_1_67_0/" ../foundationdb
-- The ASM compiler identification is unknown
-- Didn't find assembler
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.0.24215.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.0.24215.1
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (project):
No CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER could be found.
Changing the order fixes this issue and update the README.
FDB builds with TLS on Windows is currently broken due to
https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/issues/1120.
Apart from that it should work out-of-the-box. So as soon as aboves
issue is fixed, this should work.
