Summary:                    Out-of-source build does not work if an 'in-source'
CMakeCache.txt file is available
Description: 
I had the following problem: My CMake builds are in-source-builds at the moment
and I am refactoring it to out-of-source builds. Because of old 'in-source'
CMakeCache file, the out-of-source build does not work as long as this is
available.
IMHO the out-of-source build must not depend on in-source CMakeCache.txt


Steps to Reproduce: 
cd src
ls
# foo.c bar.c CMakeCache.txt CMakeLists.txt build/ [...]
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

nothing does happen because of ../CMakeCache.txt
