Thanks for the report. The cmake build files only exist for building on Windows and Mac, on Linux the bog standard make files give better results, particularly for the client libraries. That's very unlikely to change in the future.

docbook-xsl isn't listed as a dependency anywhere because the man pages are always built as part of a release, so the problem you see isn't apparent for most people. It's not something that could be easily fixed either unfortunately, because the package has different names on different platforms and installs the required files to different locations. Building man pages is basically limited to debian based systems.

I can see that it would benefit from some more documentation to make this all a bit clearer.
