Thanks for the info.  This is very helpful.  Does that mean we can 
consider cmake to be always available during the build, or is it still 
considered optional?  IIRC doxygen is an optional build component.  So, 
in theory one can still build libreoffice without cmake by disabling 
doxygen?

configure doesn't (seem to) check for the availability of cmake executable.
