This sets CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE variable only for current CMakeLists.txt.
If you want verbose output in all projects, you should use something like:
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE TRUE CACHE BOOL "Verbose output" FORCE)

Note, that FORCE causes overwriting current value in cache file. This is 
useful for debugging purposes or if you always want to get verbose output.
