I am interested in a cmake documentation to do more than building a
code with cmake (build the source doc with doxygen, parse with clang
--analyze, ...). The wiki would be a good place:
http://tools.ipol.im/wiki/author/code/using_cmake/

It means that instead of
    make -B CFLAGS=-g LDFLAGS=-lefence
    make -B CC=icc
I would do
    cmake -DWHATEVER=-g -DFOOBAR=-lefence; make -B
    cmake -DBLAH=icc; make -B
I find it annoying, but let's be reasonable, it is not a major
problem.

If the authors create a CMakefile, then we can update their code
package to add this CMakefile. I don't think we should modify the
authors code, they should do it (or ask some help to do it) because if
there is any problem, it is their code, their article, their
responsibility. And such a code update is an exception, because this
cmake issue has just been raised.

Alternatively, we can store contributed CMakefiles for IPOL codes in
the wiki too.

I suggest the authors to provide, in the IPOL article, a link to an
external page for future code updates. I think future code releases
should be hosted there, out of IPOL (because not reviewed) but
accessible from IPOL (via a link). This external page can be anything,
a http://dev.ipol.im/~user/foo/ or http://foo-university.edu/blah/
folder, a http://dev.ipol.im/git?p=user/foo.git or
http://github.com/user/blah git repository, ...
