No, this is not currently possible.  The generated solutions are meant 
to work only on the system on which they were generated.  They will work 
on another system only if everything is in the same place (CMake, source 
tree, build tree, compiler, external libraries, etc.).  The idea of 
CMake is to let each developer use his or her favorite native tools for 
development.  Any communication of build system changes takes place 
through the CMakeLists.txt files which allows CMake to be the only 
common tool across machines.
