Just to add one more reason, which is a big one for me:
In order to have stuff in KDE that depends on tpqt4, it needs to be
buildable on all KDE platforms - ie Windows and Mac as well as Linux.
This means that even if don't adopt a cmake buildsystem, we will end
up with one being maintained in parallel to our buildsystem (probably
by the KDE Windows team, as has happened in previous situations like
this) anyway.
