+  <description>
+    CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to
+    build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software
+    compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent
+    configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that
+    can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The suite of
+    CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a
+    powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such
+    as ITK and VTK.
