I see now that the cmake build_hints web page is referenced from NEWS. I have the old-school view that some combination of README/BUILDING/INSTALL should describe the build, and that people wanting to build from source is normal. (NEWS is about changes from previous versions, rather than describing the current state, so it never occured to me to look for build instruction pointers there. I acknowledge that others may find this view odd :-).) I certainly don't want to torque things around in terms of moving the web page into the sources, so I just submitted a PR to add a very short BUILDING.md which should get anyone else starting from the sources pointed in the right direction.
