[CMake] building cmake without the bootstrap step

Hi,

If I understand correctly, configuring CMake for building means bootstrapping a basic version of itself which is then run on the included CMakeLists.txt file. That takes a lot of time (comparatively) which begs the question if there's a more-of-less official way to skip the bootstrap and just use the installed cmake binary?

Thanks,
René
