Running with no arguments produces help. If it had different behavior
depending on the contents of the current working directory it would be
confusing. Imagine also if there happened to be a CMakeLists.txt file
in someone's home directory and they ran cmake their to see the help.
Then they would end up with a bunch of build tree stuff in their home
directory. Also the feature would only work for in-source builds which
are not recommended anyway.
