cmake command **itself** is able to spit out its documentation.
So

cmake --help-command string

will give you the hopefully up to date doc of the currently used cmake.
In the same way:
cmake --help-full
cmake --help-html

will give you a doc similar to
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html

but for the currently used cmake.

You ?
This represents a fair amount of work...
I bet that if no-one did it it is because it's a hUGe task.
