It is significant in a way, but I think it would be better to have it in 1.10.
It is the last change needed for CMake build system to make it good enough to
generate official Debian packages.
I got several requests to ship the Qt GUI in Debian and with CMake I
can generate both
GTK and Qt GUIs nicely not to mention that CMake builds are faster.

1.10.0 would be a perfect candidate to release a fully operational
CMake build system
for Linux and after 1.10 we could make CMake work on every platform.

There is very little downside and if things go bad, we can still
revert the changes
easily way before the release.
