You could answer a lot of these questions yourself, with a little bit
of digging or a Google search.  I'll try to give you a boost though.

gfx:: is a namespace where lots of our graphics related code lives.
See base/gfx and app/gfx.

Something like cmake, a meta-language to declare our build

Search the lists for discussions on this.  I don't know much about how
our installer works, but these are part of it.
