Research direction
Explore how Python requirements.txt and R install.R are currently implemented in repo2docker, particularly in the buildpacks directory. Propose a similar mechanism to detect a CMakeLists.txt file and install C++ dependencies using cmake. Consider whether to add a new buildpack or modify existing ones, and check the issue comments for any prior discussion on implementation.
