Uh... why? More importantly a lot of primitives on Windows have very different characteristics than their Unix/Linux counterparts. Generally code that tries to work on both sacrifices readability and/or performance. I'm all for cmake, sure why not. But porting low-level system software to a very different platform is concerning.
