				Starting with 3.0 Rivet has adopted <a class="ulink" href="" target="_top">CMake</a>
				as an alternate build system. The choice of introducing CMake was motivated by the
				need of an easy to use and reliable build system for Windows installations. Nonetheless
				the usability of CMake is by no means restricted to that OS and user familiar with this
				tool set can adopt it to build mod_rivet also on Linux and other systems. 
				The current CMake script requires CMake 3.2 or later. 
				The <a class="ulink" href="" target="_top">CMake documentation</a>
				page has a complete reference of CMake features
