For 5.5, we are shipping with a ./configure emulator that translates
some of the configure arguments to their CMake equivalents. We are also
hopeful that we can remove this emulator in later versions. In any case,
we are available to help with the transition.
Nonetheless, certain things will need manual intervention. For example:

Those have different names in CMake. We are working on documenting them.

We decided to drop non-thread safe client, so the option is not
necessary anymore.

There is no separation of community features anymore. Always integrated.
I'm CCing Vladislav, he can provide a more detailed analysis.
