[CMake] CMAKE equivalent of qmake's MOC_DIR

[David Boosalis]

The one complaint I have with building in another directory is when working with emacs.  I like to do my make inside of emacs, that way when there is a compile error message I can click on it from emacs and it takes me right to the offending line.  The only problem is that if I have to close all files after editing them as emacs gets confused if a file is open, and assumes the build is where the source file is, so it fails.  

Emacs users hate doing extra steps such as closing files ( I hav eto do a extra  key stroke operation for each file that is open (to close file)  before recompiling from the build directory.

It'd still be nice to specify where these files go, even if its not necessarily needed. In source builds tend to get messy otherwise.

Thats not really needed with cmake, because cmake allows to do real

out-of-source builds without having to set tons of output dirs

individually. Just create a build dir somewhere, go into it and run



cmake <sourcedir>
