[CMake] view CMake configuration without triggering reonfigure?

I find it convenient to view the current CMake configuration (e.g. 
install prefix, or to copy package locations from one build to another) 
using ccmake. However, any time I start ccmake, it causes the build to 
think that it needs to re-run cmake, even if I don't save (or even 
make!) changes.

This is really annoying on e.g. VTK that takes a minute or so to configure.

Besides e.g. using 'vim CMakeCache.txt' instead, is there a way to avoid 
this? (For that matter, is it expected behavior, or a bug?)
