That isn't how Windows developers will see it. It simply wouldn't get used.
With CMake, you don't have to require that people learn CMake on Windows.
You can have pre-generated VS solutions in the release tarballs.
CMake supports at least some cross-compilation and I've heard of people
using it for that. It even works with Crosstool NG.
