I've now built cleanly out-of-source.  Can't reproduce.  I suppose my 
CVS could have stray files if CVS is capable of leaving stray / obsolete 
files.  That would not be my doing, however; I never muck about in the 
CMake CVS directory.  Just noting a possible corner case of what could 
mess up a build.  I think it is far more likely that you just have a bad 
build.  I will wait to hear from you before doing any more tests.
