Here is a quick run down of some of the features of CMake and tools

m4 is simple. :-p
Since when?
m4 is actually one of the simplest languages around. There really isn't
much to it. The pain point of autoconf/automake/libtool isn't m4, it is
the complicated and often obtuse relationship between those 3 tools.
I don't mind exploring cmake, but it is a massive undertaking to create
something that can build PHP on every UNIX and pseudo-UNIX platform out
there. We should figure out what the main goal here is. If it is
simply getting "native" build files so people can use their
pointy-clickety interfaces to build PHP, then it is probably way easier
to create .in files to generate those basic build templates from our
current system than it is to rewrite the whole thing.
