<p class="MsoNormal">That makes sense when the goal is the IDE driving the configuration. But I'm not trying to use this for the IDE to drive the configuration, I only want to query the build directory in order for the IDE to learn about it. AFAIK the only
way to change either one of these properties is to delete the build and start over, so again, they should be fully-determined in a configured directory.<u></u><u></u></p>

the idea was to make sure the IDE and cmake agree on the settings<br>
being used and to make it very explicit what is going to be used.<br>
