Dmitry, This issue is orthogonal to actual CMake challenge. If core developers of a project X do not agree to switch to a new build configuration Y, then any initiative to develop setup for Y will live in a side car. AFAIU, there is no plan or even will for such switch in GDAL. Similar situation is with GEOS. Finally, developing configuration for Y build system by completely revolutionising structure of project X is a terrible thing to do in terms of potential switch to Y. IOW, the bigger and deeper a revolution, the less chance to get acceptance by core developers, also psychologically.
