You may have to help yourself.

A quick look at the .el file suggests, that you have to focus on these
lines:

    ;; Indentation increment.
    225 ;;
    226 (defvar cmake-tab-width 2)

    ; Setup indentation function.
    254   (make-local-variable 'indent-line-function)
    255   (setq indent-line-function 'cmake-indent)


A good way to understand elisp code, is by just focusing on the
comments in source code or if you are adventurous, look at the elisp
code as though it is a non-native speaker of English trying to make
itself understood to you.
