[CMake] what is the right way to set CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS?

[Claus Klein]

Hi Micheal,

I know the discusion about CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS, for all my test 
under cygwin and MAC-OX with gmake and gcc, it works!
Only the setting is a little tricky ;-)

There are good reasons to use this option, at leased the shorter log files.
