Well, let's ask a related question then.

Given that the primary reason why the project may be interested in
adding cmake-based build system is because of its support for
Windows build, how much smaller would this 11-patch series can
become if we discard support for any platforms other than Windows?
Let's say we add support for other platforms only after the series
proves capable to build on/for Windows by going through the usual
"queued in 'pu', merged to 'next' and then down to 'master'" route
and appears in a tagged release.  Would it reduce the time we need
to spend before seeing a cmake-based build for Windows by doing so?
