Summary0001799: CMake creates too much trash
DescriptionCMake will produce too many files in the source directory for in-source builds. It creates all these files:

CMakeCache.txt CMakeCCompiler.cmake CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake CMakeLists.txt CMakeOutput.log CMakeSystem.cmake
CMakeTmp cmake.check_cache cmake.check_depends cmake.depends cmake_install.cmake

You are already creating a CMakeTmp directory, why not throw them in there so if we are mirroring to another platform, we can ignore everything under CMakeTmp. Also, you could give them all the same extension which would make sense since they are all generated. I would rather them go into another directory since it keeps my "ls" nice and tidy.

 Lets try making CMAKE_TARGET_DIR_PREFIX default to CMakeDir/ and put it in as an advanced cache.
