actually better to do it together or closely.

Cross compilation works, or miltiplarform too. But doing it late is a pain.

Also, I did not check which platforms are currently supported by cmake but
it was the main reason back then to stick to autotools.

And btw, vcpkg is only about dropping our own builds for all libraries
needed.  :)
