implements the build procedure for packages using the

-It automatically adds the @code{cmake} package to the set of inputs.
-Which package is used can be specified with the @code{#:cmake}
-parameter.
+This build system adds the following keyword parameters to the ones

+The @code{cmake} package is added to the set of inputs. Which package
+is used can be specified with the @code{#:cmake} parameter.

+@item #:build-type
+The @code{#:build-type} parameter specifies in abstract terms the flags
+passed to the compiler; it defaults to @code{"RelWithDebInfo"} (short
+for ``release mode with debugging information''), which roughly means
+that code is compiled with @code{-O2 -g}, as is the case for
+Autoconf-based packages by default.

+@item #:generator
+This parameter specifies the
+@url{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generators.7.html, CMake generator}
+responsible for writing the input files for the native build system.
