[CMake] CMake terminology

[Ruslan Baratov]

Hi,

I have a question about CMake terminology. When we are using CMake GUI 
there are two buttons "Configure" and "Generate", hence we have two stages:

1. Configure step, when we do configuring project, effectively creating 
file with cache variables (which we can modify) without really 
generating native tools files like Makefile/*.sln/etc.

2. Generate step, when we do generating project using file with cache 
variables, i.e. create those Makefile/*.sln/etc.

The question is about command line version of CMake. Since we do 
creating file with cache and generate native tools files in one step 
what is the right term? Is it a configure step because we read user's 
'-D' and create cache file?  Is it a generate step because native tools 
files generated at the end? May be there is a third name to describe the 
fact that it's configure+generate step?

Thanks, Ruslo
