I'll make that information available in a separate patch and add it.

Getting the information here would be expensive (I would need to instanciate a
cmServer to get the information) and I do not really see too big a need to add
that information in the first place. Long-term I will just require a cmake with
server-mode and "serverMode": "false" is enough to tell the user that she needs
to update her cmake:-)

The decision of which protocol to choose to talk to the server will be made
later, in a different part of the code.

Best Regards,
Tobias
