It's never been formalized to that level.  Basically:

- Don't exceed 79 columns.
- Align {} with the code inside them.
- CamelCase class member names.
- Explicit "this" for member access: this->Member

Otherwise, try to match the style near the code you're changing.

Someday this should be added to the cmake-developer(7) manual:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/manual/cmake-developer.7.html

Right now it only has a style guide for the documentation formatting.
