Sure. Still, there is a fair amount of packages you need installed 
before you can build the tarball. Doing an extra package install for 
cmake isn't that big an hurdle.

Converting the build system to cmake is, in my opinion, the actual 
issue. Someone really passionate about cmake would have to contribute 
the migration work and demonstrate its benefits, and I know that won't 
be me.
