It would be good to use one build system, but the current situation is

as long as the build systems can be updated easily. Of course, if, for
example, nobody else understands cmake and Peter decides not to
support it, it will die naturally.
While cmake can create MSVC projects, the current implementation does
not handle all the dependencies like scons does. For example, the
thesaurus is not supported. To create Windows releases, scons in the
only option right now.
Umm... sorry if I've asked this before, but I thought the installer could
use a Windows executable of LyX that's been created with any build system
on Windows?
What am I missing?

Ps. Real life grabbed me and has yanked me into a dark alley, thus
claiming my spare time. Next week part of RL called work will instead
throw me out to sea for two weeks, and thus off-line for a while.
