Hi Hartmut,

I have been testing a set of patches (since last summer) based on the
following mailing list discussion (from 2021) to rewrite the
cmake-build-system build, check, and install functions to use cmake
utilities rather than depend on the gnu-build-system. This allows for
parallel tests and a package-defined #:generator.
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-10/msg00055.html

I will submit a patchset shortly for review and if accepted we can
look to combine all the cmake patches for the large rebuild. Perhaps a
version update for cmake-bootstrap (v3.24 released August 2022) at the
same time?

Greg
