I don't agree it not reviewable. 
Even this PR is not a renewable (maybe this the word you wanted to write) and not give a breakthrough to replace the autoconf build system. First it explain the problem to other people. Second, it covered the other option to do it (in one commit or fork).
Third, it not against other new build system like Meson. Forth, it give other people a tool to start build and continue this work.

If you will think why replace autoconf is not doable, you will end up stay with auto conf.
But if you really think how you can do it, you will get the conclusion that it needed to be build system that will grow along side with autoconf. 

> Requiring _both_ autoconf and cmake to build is, IMHO, unacceptable and a total nonstarter.

You say unacceptable and not total nonstarter and you don't explain your reason and suggest other ways. 
Also I show here is a starter.
