Do out-of-source builds.  When you want the output to appear somewhere
else, nuke the output directory and start over.
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ  You cannot simply move CMake
output directories around in the filesystem.  They use hardcoded
absolute paths for safety, so if you want them somewhere else you must
regenerate them.
