Thanks Bill, if this is intended, I think at least as help for the
arguments you should include this like;

[jorg at shale ~]$ ccmake
ccmake version 2.4-patch 5
Usage

  ccmake <path-to-source>
  ccmake <path-to-existing-build>

---

And add as extra

  ccmake <path-to-CMakeLists.txt>

I would also suggest a comment behind the arguments like;

  ccmake <path-to-source>              : will use the CMakeLists.txt
in the source, and generate cache variables in current directory

  ccmake <path-to-existing-build>    : will use current CMake cache in
specified path

  ccmake <path-to-CMakeLists.txt> : will use the CMakeLists.txt in the
source and perform in-source project file generation

To clarify things ;-) since Eric also didn't knew it was either a bug
or a feature. Thanks Eric and Bill!

With regards,
- Jorgen
