A Dashboard isn't CMake.
Granted. But the *CMake* dashboard results are a good source of information about CMake that can be gathered automatically.
I've read it more closely now that you've posted. I would still ignore it.
I'm sorry to hear that...
If its purpose is to provide more info about how to find CMake variables, it does not explain its purpose well at all. It is written in some kind of Engineer-speak about the mechanisms it employs to do god knows what, and does not simply say that it's a comprehensive list of all the variables in CMake.
What can I say? I'm an engineer, I wrote it and I didn't have a readily available engineer-to-regular-person translator before I posted it... It doesn't say it's a comprehensive list of all the variables in CMake because it's not. It's only a list of the variables in CMake available during the SystemInformation test. It's also only a sampling of the dashboard machines that ran on Sept. 12, 2006.
I don't even know if it's good policy to put such an under-the-hood document front-and-center.
I don't either. I was just trying to contribute to the greater good.
Anyways, I'll be happy to improve the readability of the Dashboard Variables description when I'm more awake.
If you do, please don't claim it's comprehensive. It's a more complete list than what's been manually entered so far on http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables, but it's still shy of comprehensive.
