The documentation is now generated by Sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/)
rather than CMake itself.
The man and html documentation (also "plain text" but not single file
and not installed) can be generated when building CMake itself.
The current html version of CMake git master e.g. looks like this:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/git-master/
So even though the cmake binary can no longer generate the html and
manpage documentation itself it is still available.
