I think this would be a great move overall.

Would the CMake build chain be backported? I'm assuming not, which means
extensions who support older PHP versions than the one that introduces
CMake will need to support autoconf for as long as they want to support
those older PHP versions, I think?

That isn't a deal breaker for me, but a guide on adding support for CMake
would definitely be appreciated and helpful for extension maintainers IMO.

But yes, overall great idea!

Thanks
James
