I've read through the CMake docs and a few other resources on this.

Part of the CMake docs is the wiki page about "Using CMake to build an FLTK application" which was "state of the art" and "limit of my
knowledge" when I put it together in 2008 but which is probably now
contributing to the confusion.

In 2008 this was indeed "state of the art", which means FLTK 1.1. I don't know who wrote these early CMake files but I read recently that someone used them even now to build FLTK 1.1.

FLTK 1.3 had just started development in 2008.

If I can still edit it[*], maybe it would be
useful to modify / annotate it to make it consistent with the current README.CMake.txt build advice, no?

If you can, it would be useful to annotate it; say it's outdated now (i.e. usable for outdated FLTK 1.1), and refer users to the current README.CMake.txt

Just don't duplicate (too much) information of README.CMake.txt - I'm pretty sure this will change before we release 1.4.0.
