Slides review notes

• scikit-build-core 0.2.0 released
• Scikit-build-core: Custom build dirs
  • In addition of {cache_tag} consider adding {wheel_tag} and/or {platform_tag}`
  • To help identify change related to variable like MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, may check produced binaries
• wheel retag
  • Upstream support proposed in pypa/wheel#422 (under review)
  • Once merged, consider archiving repository https://github.com/scikit-build/wheeltools
  • Retag support is useful in the context of cmake and ninja wheel. See RFC: Add convert_to_generic_platform function to wheeltools module wheeltools#2
• Look into re-opening and updating CMake merge request MR-8163 (Utilities/Sphinx: Improve Pygments CMake lexer) so that changes are ultimately integrated into scikit-build/moderncmakedomain
