[Cmake] simple cmake queries

[Ian Scott]

There is a an LIBRARIES_OUTPUT_PATH variable in CMake. I don't know exactly
what it defaults to, but if you set it to blank it will put each library in
the same place as the Makefile that produces it.
You can edit the variable in ccmake (or in CMakeCache.txt if you prefer.) Or
You can set it in your root CMakeLists.txt file using
SET(LIBRARIES_OUTPUT_PATH /home/my/lib)
