[CMake] Forcing location of binary directory in CMake

[Michael Jackson]

I would use something like the following:

get_filename_component(buildParent ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} PATH)
if (NOT ${buildParent} STREQUAL ${${PROJECT_NAME}_SOURCE_DIR})
	message(FATAL_ERROR "Wrong Build Directory")
endif()

Or something similar to that might work.
