+cmake-202x (cross-platform, open-source make system)
+
+CMake is used to control the software process using simple platform
+and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates
+native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the
+compiler environment of your choice.
+
+This version of cmake is much newer than the version included in
+Slackware 14.2. It installs to /opt, so it won't conflict with the
+OS-provided cmake package.
+
+See README_SBo.txt for directions on using this version of cmake with
+your own SlackBuild scripts, or to develop/maintain software that
+needs a newer cmake.
