Hi Yandex,

cmake-gui and ccmake are "cache editors". They generate a GUI from the
CMake cache, which is generated from the cmake files.
You find the CMake cache in the file CMakeCache.txt in your build
directory. It is rather easy to parse. It should be straight-forward to
build a cache manager in PHP.
For a start, have a look at the file
https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Source/cmCacheManager.cxx

Cheers, Daniel
