Hello!

Now would be the time to get this in 'core-updates'.

I'm not very comfortable with pulling python-sphinx into the dependency
closure of CMake, because then we can't update it or its dependencies
outside of the 'core-updates' cycle. It could also cause circular
dependency issues down the road.

Would it make sense to build the documentation as a separate package?
In that case it can go on the master branch.

I don't like the idea of having a separate package for the documentation
of cmake because it goes against the expectations of Guix users (package
comes with its manpage, and extra doc can be installed as extra output
of the same package).

Maybe we could have a "cmake-minimal" package we'd keep hidden and use
by default as part of the cmake-build-system, which wouldn't include the
doc, and the regular, user facing cmake would be the one in this patch?

This sounds reasonable to me. Can you send a patch? :-)

Here it comes, attached! Thanks to Ricardo on #guix for helping me
resolve a quoting issue :-).

To validate it works, I had to disable some failing test suites, using:
