As a complement, many "things" are supported using custom CMake modules:

cmake --help-module-list

will give you a list of CMake modules shipped with CMake, while

cmake --help-module <moduleName>

will give you more detailed information about the module.
For example:
cmake --help-module FindFLEX

may be worth reading if you are using lex.
