Sergey,

Thanks for the fixes. LGTM, with a couple more nits.

I still believe this should be moved to a separate module in cmake/
directory (like it's done for SetVersion). Please, also move it's usage
to "Fine-tuning cmake environment" section in root CMakeLists.txt to
group most of includes there.

Great, thanks!

All in all, if you've introduced the machinery to control parallel level
of CMake jobs, we can also fix our workflows in a separate commit by
changing --parallel parameter with CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL envvar. So
the following approach...
| $ cmake .
| $ cmake . --build --parallel $(nproc) --target test
... is replaced with the next one...
| $ CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL=$(nproc) cmake .
| $ cmake . --build --parallel
... considering the comment[1] in CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL manual.
