Cmake patch is irrelevant for the release, so there's no reason for any 
haste. Release will be packaged by autotools and distributed as such. 
cmake patch will be merged into trunk and it will have no impact on the 
release even if it is non-functional at the moment.

OTOH, AIX & HP-UX ports do affect the release. That's why I've asked 
specifically about them.

I would expect that at least ZMQ_HAVE_AIX and ZMQ_HAVE_HPUX macros 
should be introduced into the code.

Say a poll_thread is currently ifdef'd like this:

#if defined ZMQ_HAVE_LINUX || defined ZMQ_HAVE_FREEBSD ||\
     defined ZMQ_HAVE_OSX || defined ZMQ_HAVE_SOLARIS ||\
     defined ZMQ_HAVE_OPENBSD || defined ZMQ_HAVE_QNXNTO

If AIX and/or HP-UX support POSIX 'poll' function we should add them to 
the ifdef.

Malo will shortly merge your patch into the trunk, however, you have to 
state it's licensed under MIT license first. Code with unclear licensing 
cannot be merged into the project as it may jeopardise it's FOSS nature.

Same applies to branches. We may create a branch in SVN for you, 
however, you would have to sign CAL first so that it's clear that any 
commits you'll do are properly licensed.

Regards.
