Linux shouldn't be a problem - most distributions already either install
cmake or allow to install it easily - for kde and other software that
requires it.
Various proprietary unixes could be more of an issue. Especially older
ones. But hopefully not.

I was thinking, we could have a shell script called - surprise! -
configure, that accepts configure style options, transforms them into
cmake style options and invokes cmake. Not autoconf generated configure,
just simple "loop over all parameters, uppercase them, s/-/_/, and put
into -D cmake command line".
