[Cmake] Pb with CVS distribution

[Bill Hoffman]

To use an outside environment variable in cmake, you have
to do a $ENV{VAR}, so for HOME it would be $ENV{HOME}.   
However, I would recommend not using environment variables like HOME
in CMakeList.txt files.   A CMakeList.txt file should work on 
different computers without requiring an environment variable to
be set.  CMake creates several variables with the project name:
PROJECT(FOO)

FOO_SOURCE_DIR = the path to the root of the source tree 
FOO_BINARY_DIR = the path to the root of the build tree
