[CMake] configuration input to cmake

[Guilherme Balena Versiani]

AFAIK using cmake involves basically two steps:

1) something like configure & generate build files (GNU Makefile, MSVC, 
KDevelop3, XCode, etc). For a tipical 'out-of-source' building:

    # mkdir <build_dir>
    # cmake ../<source_dir>

2) build software:

    # make

Optionally, you can have a 'make install' (see INSTALL command), a 'make 
package' (which means you are using CPack) and 'make test' (see CTest).

Guilherme Balena Versiani.
