Could you create a "Build" directory inside the top level of your  
project directory, then run cmake from inside the "build" directory.  
Doing this will keep all cmake generated files inside this "sandbox"  
directory and should not interfere with file outside the sandbox?
     I work this way every day and it works very well. But there may  
be some case that I am not thinking of that would stop this from  
working.
