I definitely can see some advantages. Non-broken dependencies around
recursive make being a major one. But I'm also afraid it's a rather
large undertaking. There's a fair number of special kind of rules, and
we're probably not going to want to break pgxs for extensions.

I also have some doubts around the portability of cmake and it's
generated makefiles. We do support some odd platforms.

Greetings,
