[Cmake] CMake Configuration Problem

I've run into a slight problem with the build configuration.

Being new to this system, I did a cvs checkout of CMake and Dart.
After getting the other (minimal set of) tools in place, I tried to
build CMake in place.
I did

cd ......./CMake
./configure
make
make install

and everything seemed to go OK.

Then I started messing with Dart.
I got it running without too much difficulty.

However,

make Experimental

caused 3 failures.

Since then, I cleared everything out and tried a different approach.

The difference was that I did the configure in another folder outside 
the CMake source tree.

cd ......./Cmake

cd ../BuildThemHere/CMake
../../CMake/configure

etc.

It made the failures disappear.

So, is it supposed to be illegal to have the binary tree mixed with the 
source or is there a failure in the build system?

Thanks,

Richard
