Summary:                    [RFE] Produce shorted output for cmake/ccmake when
no arguments specified
Description: 
Please find attached patch.

Currently running cmake/ccmake without arguments is equal running it with --help
which is bad idea since it doesn't really tell what to do.
Instead of that attached patch makes them emit shorter brief with hint:

====
$ cmake/bin/cmake
Usage

  cmake [options] <path-to-source>
  cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>

Hint

  cmake .       for in-source build (not recommended)
  cmake ..      for out-of-source build inside subfolder
  cmake --help  for more information

Note: Building in separate folder leaves source files intact.
