The problem with this is that curl contains 5000 lines of m4 macros,
Bourne shell code and automake templates that have been refined over the
past 8 years to build on countless systems. It would take a tremendous
effort to port that to CMake to start with, and unless curl switches to
CMake as its configuration system, it would need to be kept up to date
in parallel with autotools. That's lots of work for essentially almost no
benefit to the curl project as it won't help curl work on any more systems
than it does today.
