Hard to comment on something that’s hypothetical, but given the high level
description, it’s not impossible.
Part of this depends on the license for CMake.
And it will be a lot of work for someone at Apple. The platforms where this
sort of thing is most difficult are older ones where WebKit is built with old
versions of development tools. Even small changes to the build system create
challenges for my team here at Apple. We do our best to hide this complexity
and prevent it from directly affecting the others working on WebKit.
