+	  CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools
+	  designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used
+	  to control the software compilation process using simple
+	  platform and compiler independent configuration files, and
+	  generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in
+	  the compiler environment of your choice.
