[CMake] cmake buried in subdirectory?

Hello,

Simple question... can I/how can I keep my top-level cmake-related stuff in
a subdirectory of my main project directory? E.g.:

/myproj
  /cmake
    CMakeLists.txt

and then in the /cmake, I create a /build from which I attempt:  cmake ..

I tried something as simple as this in my CMakeLists.txt, but it didn't
seem to work:
project (../myproj)


The primary reason I'd like to do this is to hide/make optional the cmake
build approach (and keep in place an existing/traditional Makefile in the
parent directory). Play along...

thanks, Randy
