Yes, you're right, doxygen (and thus cmake) is currently optional.

I assume (but this may not be true) that nowadays most people either
know how to install doxygen/cmake/other build-time dependencies or just
use lode.git, which already installs cmake for you.

So it may not be too painful to start hard-depending on cmake, apart
from adding a configure check.
