It will reduce the amount of build applications to cmake and toolchain.
The CMakeLists.txt is clearly laid out. It is also available for various
platforms. So why not?
Aren't Autoconf/Automake available for different platforms too?
Happy hacking,

As far as I understand Autoconf is designed for UNIX-like OS only:
[citation from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/]: Autoconf is an
extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to
automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can
adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual
user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package
from a template file that lists the operating system features that the
package can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
CMake is a cross-platform tool that runs also in Windows.
A Summary Of Features
CMake is an extensible, open-source system that has several powerful
features. These include:
* Supports complex, large build environments. CMake has been proven
in several large projects.
* Generates native build files (e.g., makefiles on Unix;
workspaces/projects on MS Visual C++). Therefore standard tools
can be used on any platform/compiler configuration.
* Has powerful commands include the ability to locate include files,
libraries, executables; include external CMake files that
encapsulate standard functionality; interfaces to testing systems;
supports recursive directory traversal with variable inheritance;
can run external programs; supports conditional builds; supports
regular expression expansion; and so on.
* Supports in-place and out-of-place builds. Multiple compilation
trees are possible from a single source tree.
* Can be easily extended to add new features.
* CMake is open source.
* CMake operates with a cache designed to be interfaced with a
graphical editor. The cache provides optional interaction to
conditionally control the build process.
