[Cmake] Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!

[Bill Hoffman]

I would strongly recommend that you use the pre-compiled binaries for CMake
on windows.    Is there a reason that you need the cvs version?

CMake needs more than just the executable to run, so to create your
own binary you would have to make sure the directory structure looks like
the binary release, or the source directory still exists on the machine
that it is run on.   (Currently there is no make install for windows.)


The directory should be something like this:
./bin/ - all executables cmake, CMakeSetup, ctest, cmw9xcom.exe
./include/cmCPluginAPI.h
./Modules/  - the modules directory
./Templates  - the templates directory
