I have filed text bug http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=6295 ,
"Document core syntax in a chapter format."  I believe that separating
the concern of core syntax, from that of build capabilities, is
crucial for positioning CMake against popular fullblown scripting
languages.  Please refer comments there.
