[CMake] Copying cmake generated files to another machine

[steve naroff]

Hi, I work on llvm/clang (a client of cmake).

For development, cmake is wonderful (no big issues).

For deployment, cmake's inability to copy it's generated project files  
to another machine is causing us some grief. The scenario is quite  
simple: I want to copy the llvm/clang source tree over another machine  
(running the same OS/tools) and build it *without* having to rerun  
cmake and generate *new* project files. Without this ability, it  
requires the target machine have cmake installed (which isn't  
convenient for some clients that want to build/use/master the result  
of the llvm/clang build). What was a 1 step process (open the project  
file) now becomes a 3 step process (install cmake, run it to generate  
the project file, open the project file).

Last time I checked (about a year ago) the usage model I've outlined  
wasn't supported. Is this still the case? Is there any workaround?

Thanks for any help with this,

snaroff
