Of course you should invoke cmake just once for configuring the build
and use `make' thereafter, unless you want to change any configuration
paramenter. If the documentation contains something that could be
interpreted as saying that cmake must be explicitly invoked before
running every build, please tell us and we will try to fix the wording.
