classes/cmake.bbclass: A small explanation why it says inherit autotools

    CMake's Makefiles know about the DESTDIR. This allows us to use the
    staging and install functions of the autotools bbclass. Reusing them
    makes perfect sense and we should consider moving these functions to
    another base class.
