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.
