Thanks for suggesting that.  I didn't think of it.

I put a link to the CMake homepage on the SCons wiki.  I don't think
it's necessary or desirable to put a link to the CMake wiki as well.
It would make CMake look like a bit of a hog, as far as politely
informing the world of its existence, and really CMake should do
everything it needs to promote itself from its own home page.  If it
isn't doing that well enough, we should work on that.

I don't think it's desirable to put a link from the CMake wiki to the
SCons comparison page.  I don't think it's that great of a comparison
page, and it would drive traffic off of CMake's site.  If we think
comparisons are valuable we should do our own comparisons, against
major competitors instead of every tool out there, and make them more
comprehensive / slicker.  I just wanted to remedy the obvious
deficiency of that SCons page, failing to mention CMake at all.
