@lanodan is doing a survey to see if anyone downstream is depending on it.

I think the only ones where it might be important to ping them before removal would be [Haiku, OpenIndiana (wow), pkgsrc, ravenports, vcpkg] as I'd guess there could be some issues to fix in the Makefile.

To note that currently, cmake and make each ends up with a different final build, cmake includes nuget files and cpack files that make doesn't generate, unsure how much downstream uses those

I think we can safely consider dropping Windows support, and I think a lot of that stuff (possibly up to and including cmake) can just go away.
