For me a killer feature would be if/when we can get to a point where we can have something pgxs-style on cmake that also works on windows.
Our homemade Windows build system works OK for postgres, and while ugly it is as you say well tested by now. But it doesn't do *anything* to help people build extensions on Windows.
Do we need to build PostgreSQL itself using cmake, to achieve that? Could we write something like pgxs for cmake, only for extensions?
I guess we wouldn't, but we'd still need the "replacement for autoconf" part. So then we're back to maintaining multiple buildsystems.
