Can you recommend a site that gives a (fairly) short history of CMake
that at least lists the most fundamental changes made to this software
since its inception?  For example, I am pretty sure you have stated 
before that it

did not start out as a C++ project.  If so, when did it switch to C++?
I did look at , but the history
paragraph there includes nothing about the fundamental changes made along
the way in the development of CMake.
CMake has always been in C++.   The idea was that all that would be 
required would be a C++ compiler.  With that, you could build CMake.  
Since CMake was designed to build C++ projects, it was assumed that the 
user would at least have a C++ compiler.


Should be some history these talks:

I don't think there is anything written.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed or used CMake!
