 Choose which build frontend to use. Can either be "pip", which will run
 `python -m pip wheel`, or "build", which will run `python -m build --wheel`.
 
+You can also use "build[uv]", which will use an external [uv][] everywhere
+possible, both through `--installer=uv` passed to build, as well as when making
+all build and test environments. This will generally speed up cibuildwheel.
+Make sure you have an external uv on Windows and macOS, either by
+pre-installing it, or installing cibuildwheel with the uv extra,
+`cibuildwheel[uv]`. `uv` will not be used for Python 3.6 or Python 3.7. You
+cannot use uv currently on Windows for ARM or for musllinux on s390x as
+binaries are not provided by uv. Legacy dependencies like setuptools on Python
+< 3.12 and pip are not installed if using uv.
