I have a version cmake5 in the works, you're welcome to try the head of 
my 1.40.branch, where all of these should be fixed.  (I'd appreciate the 
testing). This 1.40.0.cmake5 release contains a lot of stuff backported 
from the 1.41 branch.

Probably you should use the docs in tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html in 
your checkout... the docs at the link above are currently for the 
upcoming 1.41.0.cmakebeta5, already quite different from 1.40.0.cmake4.

The new setup:  BUILD_BCP, BUILD_INSPECT and friends are gone, now there 
is BUILD_TOOLS, a comma-separated list of tools to build.  So 
BUILD_TOOLS=NONE should turn off those (useless for our purposes) utilities.
