This would be true if gmake didn't build/run basically everywhere; but, =

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending autotools' design or =

I would say that's actually a mark against cmake. If you need a gui to =
select build options because your cli doesn't have proper help output =
something is wrong.
If you're willing to setup and maintain a cmake build environment I =
wouldn't say it should be rejected outright. Speculating about it =
without an implementation to compare seems like a waste of time.
Especially when jaromil already has a mostly-functional autotools setup. =
It needs tweaking still and some changes to catch up and rebase, but it =
works. He also already did the tedious work to rearrange the source tree =
to make adding any auto-configuration tool for the build environment =
easy to drop in place. (Which is already merged.)
