[CMake] Can "Make help" be set less verbose?

[KSpam]

Robert,

I used to have the same problem until I restructured my project.  The trick is 
NOT to list source files in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file.

For example, this will give you a list of intermediate targets (.o .i .s) in 
the help:

	#---
	# Top-level CMakeLists.txt
	#---

	PROJECT(CoolStuff)
	ADD_EXECUTABLE(coolStuff src/foo.cpp src/bar.cpp)

On the other hand, this will produce a cleaner help:

	#---
	# Top-level CMakeLists.txt
	#---

	ADD_DIRECTORY(src)

	#---
	# src/CMakeLists.txt
	#---

	PROJECT(CoolStuff)
	ADD_EXECUTABLE(coolStuff foo.cpp bar.cpp)

I hope that this helps.
