Its not a cmake feature. Its a custom script. you could probably have 
cmake boil coffee with the right script ;-)
Currently the graph is a big mess, its simply too many dlls involved to 
see anything from it.
But it provides good raw data to create any kind of graphs from it.
I have been using yEd, sadly it doesn't handle the node ids (the dll 
names) properly, so all nodes simply get a number and the name gets 
lost. Dunno why that is. It can be worked around by adding an yEd 
specific label tag.
