So, I guess cmake --help would run cmake in some sort of run but do not do
anything mode. It would read all the list files and collect up all the cache
variables, but not write the cache, or any build files. It would read any cache
that was there, to get the current state of things.

The warning is not a bad idea, and the logic is in cmake -i.
