[Cmake] Cleaning cache by cmake

[sylvain.prat]

Hi,

I think you don't use CMake correctly for that : no need to delete cache files. I do the same thing in the following manner : i generate caches for each platform in different directories (it is called out-source build, and this is the highly prefered method to avoid polluting the source directory with compiled code).

My hierarchy is for exemple :
/src
/build-cygwin
/build-visual6
/build-linux

And there's no cache problems :P

Cheers,
Sylvain
