[CMake] Supress generation of a Makefile

[Ryan Pavlik]

If you can't/won't use CMake on all platforms (why? Seems like extra
maintenance effort)... You should be OK if you do an out of source build as
usually recommended for CMake; that is, generating the build files (by
running cmake in) in a different directory than your source code.
