That has been done ages ago:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/cmake/

Back then it didn't have any uptake because it was uncommon and people
don't like to change. (and maybe some technical reasons where some
hidden sauce in PHP's build system allows some magic)

A key factor for PHP's build system (imo) back the was that PHP's
incremental build was *a lot* faster (typical development cycle: touch
a single file and type "make") than CMake (while CMake+make is more
correct since it also checks touched headers) nowadays we have SSDs,
which makes this a bit less of an issue, and CMake supports ninja,
which eventually might be faster.
