It actually runs the Autotools and includes everything needed for that as well; it's a unified distribution.  It's now the canonical method for building a Chicken distro.

Sure, but maybe he was building from darcs in which case it needs chicken.  
Anyway, I don't think the problem here was a lack of CMake documentation.
He did not want to write a cmake list file he just wanted to run cmake.
That should be documented by the project.
