I think this has already been discussed on the list,
(but I cannot find the reference)
and the answer was CMake has good reason to use absolute path, among
others you can not expect tools/lib/etc... found with FIND_PROGRAM,
FIND_PACKAGE etc...
to be found in the same place for different machine, or
even to find any.

You may try to 
SET(CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION YES)

but I don't know how well it works.

May be you can only share the source tree and teach them
how to easilly configure their local build tree with an hopefully
easy CMake run?
