It's not just the cmake buildsystem. It's also the ability to actually compile the sources with msvc or even with mingw without doing some extra magic (see shared-mime-info for example!) And adding a cmake buildsystem just because it would be nicer instead using the working one is a waste of time for kde-windows.
