What are you really trying to prevent from happening?  Are you just 
trying to get all your *.o files to appear in a particular place, 
separate from your source files, or some such?  You can just set up your 
source tree to build whatever way you want, although some approaches are 
more complicated than others.

The 'default' for building is just your source tree.  The user has the 
option to change this to an out-of-directory build, which mirrors your 
own source tree.  The user will typically take that option if they have 
"learned the CMake culture."
