   Sure but that does not mean that PETSc needs CMake, see the better wording 

• CMake. A modern version of CMake (>2.8) is required to build some of 
the meta packages we need to include in PETSc.

   Probably a lot of text for the various cases could be combined to a 
single case, resulting in less text to maintain.

This is because we build PETSc with Metis and Parmetis (by default) that
requires CMake. We usually need Metis/Parmetis for partitioning an
unstructured mesh.

We could say CMake is required to build Metis/Parmetis?

[petsc-dev] horrible lies about PETSc that need to be fixed

[Smith, Barry F.]

   How dare you defame us in such a way. PETSc never ever "needed" cmake and 
certainly never will

0. Pre-Reqs

• CMake. CMake is required to build PETSc.
