CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
------------------
-See CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL.
+Tool used for the actual build process.
-This variable is around for backwards compatibility, see
-CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL.
+This variable is set to the program that will be needed to build the
+output of CMake. If the generator selected was Visual Studio 6, the
+CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM will be set to msdev, for Unix Makefiles it will be
+set to make or gmake, and for Visual Studio 7 it set to devenv. For
+NMake Makefiles the value is nmake.
