And thanks to you for coming up with such a useful tool in the first place!

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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmake>, but the history
paragraph there includes nothing about the fundamental changes made along
the way in the development of CMake.
