At least it's not recognized by CMake v3.13 in
current Debian stable (Debian stable buster-backports would provide 
CMake v3.16).

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has CMake v3.16, but 18.04 has
only v3.10.

=> I don't think readme.txt should recommend
   "cmake --install" yet, at least not for Linux

Use of that could simplify instructions for other
platforms though.

When doing "make install" as root with CMake
v3.13 generated makefiles, only root owned file
I get in Hatari source or its build directory is
this:
$ ls -l install_manifest.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3767 Dec 25 21:12 install_manifest.txt

But as build doesn't need to overwrite that, only
install, and user can remove root owned files in
his own directories, IMHO that's not a problem.
