What makes you think that "PROJECT_BINARY_DIR" or
"CMAKE_FILES_DIRECTORY" may be modified?

AFAIK those are read-only variable setup by CMake itself.

i.e.:
cmake --help-variable PROJECT_BINARY_DIR
PROJECT_BINARY_DIR
       Full path to build directory for project.

       This is the binary directory of the most recent PROJECT command.

CMAKE_FILES_DIRECTORY, is not documented at all and
since it's define in void cmMakefile::AddDefaultDefinitions()
I doubt it was meant to be user-modified.

Did you manage to do that with any CMake version before 2.8.9 ?
If yes which one(s)?
