+CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL
+----------------
+
+Tool used for the actual build process.
+
+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_BUILD_TOOL 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. This can be useful for adding
+special flags and commands based on the final build environment.
